It is well with my soul

In 1873, Horatio Spafford wrote the words to the hymn "It is Well with My Soul" after the tragic death of his four daughters. (He wrote it on the ocean while sailing near the
spot where his daughters died.)Very moving.

These are the situations that Lord allow in his loved Children to share the Glory of his when he returns. Remember the verse "If we suffer with Christ, we will be Joint hires and share his glory" - It is not easy to Say these words but Lord only gives the strength when we are going through these situations. Its an opportunity for us to see this blessed hope.

Probably the best song. Applicable to almost any situation. No matter what happens in this world, it is always well in our souls.

Perhaps, before you reject your own flesh and blood, you should learn something about Marijuana (for instance, how to spell it). This "drug", without a single fatality attributed to it, is less harmful than caffeine and can be very beneficial in helping to calm the nerves and open the mind to more reflective awareness. Parental rejection is far more dangerous. You ought to thank God that he is not choosing alcohol, which wreaks havoc on the mind and body, and kills millions of people every year.
