That is beautiful. See you in Heaven brother. Don't lose hope- the cross we bear now will one day be a crown we lay at the feet of Jesus. I praise him for your salvation. Johnny O'Hara Buckhannon, West Virginia

what a good testimony

+Lu Dong God richly bless you my brother x

+Lu Dong What a lovely story, Sir. God bless you in your journey

+Lu Dong Bless you. keep the Faith. Press into His Presence.

It is well with you, shalom dear 🙏

May your son RIP in the presence of the lord Jesus Amen 🙏🏿

So moving and touching! I can't imagine the pain you have been through but our God gives his amazing grace.

🥺

I truly thank you for your testimony. As a Christian, I have often tried to imagine how,... as a God-fearing and faithful Christian parent,... one could possibly be sustained,... in the loss of a child. I realize it can and does happen,... but I think it is beyond most people's comprehension,... that it is possible. It has always been beyond my comprehension. That said,... I have heard God's voice and I have experienced the "perfect peace" that can ONLY come from Him. In this way,... your testimony has truly given me a glimpse and encouragement that while I may not EVER be able to imagine or understand how my Father could sustain or heal me from such devastation,.... ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE with our God. Thank you for sharing such a personal experience and know that your testimony is certainly being used by God to impact the lives of others. Thank you and God bless! He is Risen!

So true.

Hannah Loveanna Absolutely agree with you!

Amen... Amen

Yes😊

Amen God bless you

TSALAGI1839 his love for God just challenged me, I have to get more serious than I am. Just because I haven't met someone to genuinely love, I find the need to nag God, the same God that has blessed me with life. I should be ashamed of myself.

TSALAGI1839 Thank you so much for saying this. This is the reason why Christians sometimes suffer; it is so that we can bear testimony for Christ, our wonderful Lord and Saviour; now, I understand..! May the Lord bless you. Thank you! intouch.org, billygraham.org

Life Lover Don't worry, once you are saved, God has entered your life and you are a new creature; God now lives in you! And He will complete the work He has begun in you. intouch.org, billygraham.org

Yes..Amen..

Like Job, he never blamed or cursed God but remained steadfast in the knowledge that his Redeemer lives.

God Bless you and your wife and children Bob ❤🙏☺

I am

Here I am!

Here am I Brother and Comrade.

👍

wow!

God bless

Continue to serve Lord as your Great Great Uncle did. God bless you

Wow nice to hear that. I'm from India. It was my loving husband's favourite song. When he died in 2019 my family sang this song with tears. "What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear Amen

vincent neale Christianity is not a way of life, It is Life. So true, so true.

vincent neale Amen to that brother! That's what it's about! Keep Witnessing!

+vincent neale Very well said, Vincent! Our Lord and Savior IS and encompasses ALL we ever need or WILL need! He alone is our precious HOPE and our SALVATION! This life is but a vapor and will soon fade away....but...to have a personal relationship with our Lord means we can look forward to one day seeing our loving Savior face to face and live eternally with Him in glory!!!

+vincent neale THANK YOU VINCENT,,,THAT IS TRUE,,,,

This statment became real for me Two months ago. Still a baby Christian. But I love God through His Son Jesus Christ in whom His love is perfect within us through His Holy spirit. Praise Jesus Christ!. The Eternal God blessed forever! Amen

I just found it and I'm sitting here with tears streaming....remarkable!

Ian Howlett It is indeed very moving.

Ian Howlett He’s the dearest friend we could ever have

@@julielynn86 Just a brief viewing of just one small picture, of the likeness of your beautiful Julie Lynn face with such a lovely countenance, and such lovely female eyes truly beautiful to behold!! And as I type you this brief note of sincere appreciation of your truly lovely beautiful face, I hear the wonderful rendition of "What A Friend We Have in Jesus"... And after reading your posted autobiographical commentary of yourself, Julie Lynn , in your descriptive analysis of your personal interests...it seems to me as though you are as beautiful internally as you appear, physically in the picture of your lovely face, like an excitingly extraordinary truly beautiful woman deserving of faithful love, in a sincerely and respectfully truthful and reliable loving man!! God bless you, Julie lovely woman Lynn, in Christ's Spirit of God's Grace and Wisdom!!

@@Gweidemann Wow!!! What a beautiful message to find! Thank you so very very much! So so so sweet! :-)

It's amazing to have you love Jesus Christ over there. God bless your soul and keep you.

Akham Gaimun did you not listen to the song? Why wait for others, pray for yourself, carry all your burdens and grief to him in prayer, believe and he will hear and do it for your. Jesus is Immanuel, He is right there standing by and with you. Call unto Him in the day of trouble and He will answer you.

🙏🙏

Amen I pray that God visits your home tonight with healing and blessings and Miracle in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

@@maureenaiyegbo6263 I really don't believe she is waiting for others to pray for her. She is asking for fellow christains to pray for her family in addition to her own.

Akham Gaimun I hope your family problems are getting better.

Carmen Munoz, thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony of the goodness of our dearest Friend.

AMEN❤

He did the same for me. He is so good and kind.

😭❤️

😭❤️

That makes no rational sense at all.

That's right! Isn't it wonderful!

+Fred Nurke - "Love" is not rational. Love suffers long and is kind; Love.. rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

I fully agree with you.

Fred Nurke, This song writer understood, the devil brought the tragedy to his life, not God. God always heals us, when we cling to Him thru those times. Great, song's come out of these situations that help other's also, thereby bearing fruit unto God. Maybe he would have never shared or wrote the song, had these events not happened in his life, even to heal himself. I am speaking from Gospel song writing experience. I would have gone crazy by now, had Jesus not comforted me this way! The Lord's carpentress

Carla Austin, what a wonderful testimony! Thanks for sharing it. I had the same experience of joy in His Presence when my husband lay in a coma from which he did not recover. He went Home instead. My walk with God went to a whole new level. His best friend was Jesus and he was a man of prayer. What a joy it is to know Him! The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows! Our dearest Friend is always with us!

@@VickyRBenson AMEN

I can't imagine the pain you've gone through. God does meet us in our sorrows and can be trusted to never leave us nor forsake us. Bless you

Dear Carla Austin About grim looking Christians - - - I once heard a minister look out over his congregation and shake his head and ask, " Are there any Christians here today happy that they know Jesus?" And when they raised their hands he said, " Wonderful. Now tell it to your face!" 😇😄

crimson jebakumar how I love this word, I have meditated on it for so many times. I saw it and got so excited hahahaha

crimson jebakumar bsibkl. Batvjbo 😄

I have decided to follow Jesus

Eat less soy

Same, even though I am very new in the body of Christ

Dale Tilley Same here.

So very true. After passing through a tragedy (much like the author of this hymn), countless friends left me, but one human friend walked into my fiery furnace of affliction and stayed with me. In the subsequent two years, I learned more about God than I could have learned in several lifetimes. Our adversity is indeed God's opportunity.

@@rosethornil y

That is an absolutely perfectly true comment!

Amen

AMEN

charles mays wow

And the tree on which He'd bleed

They`d nailed him on a cross of wood--he`d made the hill on which it stood. (Of course, the Bible makes no mention of his being crucified on a `hill called Mt. Calvary`--that bit is mere legend. I have been to the more likely spot of Golgotha, a hillside used as a quarry perhaps as early as Solomon`s time, the frontal view of which does resemble the orifices of a skull, with the adjacent `Garden Tomb` with its ancient water cistern, one of the largest in ancient Jerusalem. The crucifixion would have been, not atop the hill, but at its foot, near the roadway where the exhibition would have telling effect on passersby. The victim was bloody and shamed, with nakedness exposed...not at all like the cross adornment popular today but truly an emblem of suffering and shame. The possible spot is now a noisy parking lot of busses behind an Arab bus station.)

@@paulinmiami7671 The real thing is; He was crucified by the same ones He loved to death..

Amen.

Amen! Thank you God!

That is so true! His hand is in everything for our good and never for our destruction.

Jeannette Meek bullshit, heaven and hell ,the latter being Earth, we have no hope in hell and God can't do anything period . I should know I have been going through this B's everyday of my life , lied to by all these wonderful Christan people 😱😵

Jeannette Meek You must read TSALAGI1839's reply! This is another reason that Christians suffer. Tests are necessary in the lives of all Christians if they are to bear testimony for Christ. The Lord is good! intouch.org, billygraham.org

Doreen Mammah Thanks for summarizing the story behind one of my favorite hymns What a friend we have in Jesus

The best so ng ever written in Christian songs.

I chose this hymn to be sang at our wedding in 2001 by the children's choir. 🙏🙏❤

katrinaparis amen ! So hard at times not to question the Lord and not want to give up..i am guilty of that myself. Although the devil would like nothing more. I try to hold on lately to my faith in The Lord even if by my fingertips..but I know ultimately He is holding us

Yes! What an story of inspiration!

Alexander Paul I love this hymn, but I have grave suspicions about the author, Mr Scriven. After the mysterious death of his fiancée (something scared her horse so much that the horse threw her, and she landed in the river, and Mr Scriven watched her drown because he couldn’t swim), he left Ireland, and was estranged from his family for many years. His next fiancée died of pneumonia contracted during a watery escapade with Mr Scriven who was attempting to baptise her. Mr Scriven ended his own life in a river.

@@irenemax3574 you are saying something oh I am thinking too🤔

Amen to that! i am reminded of another great song-which rigs true even today..... "Standing somewhere in the Shadows you'll find Jesus He's a friend who always cares and understands Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find him You'll know him by the nail prints in His hands"

Inpam Moses That was my favourite song at nightly devotions at college. I did not know it had more verses. I will look it up. Thanks! God bless you.

Amen and Amen

Nihal Jayamanne In the Bible we are told that salvation comes by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and raised from the dead by the power of God's Holy Spirit to show His power over sin,death,and the devil...that He died in my place for me...and that I need to accept it by faith that He died for me! This is to be Born Again as the Holy Lord Jesus Christ taught must take place in order for salvation which is a reality...to take place.

❤

God has gotten me through so many tough thinks! Praise the Lord!

Jesus is really a faithful God..He will help you forever..

How are you

That's nice, thank you very much. GOD bless

OurHumbleLife And, God bless you both in this New Year. Seems like we will need Jesus' help more than ever.

Was he a Freemason???!?...who put that obelisk/horus member on his grave??!

My grandfather was born in Port Hope in 1867. I have always wondered if our family knew Joseph Scriven.

God bless you so much my sis for this beautiful piece of information about Joseph scriven a great author and writer of the song that moves my heart everyday "What a friend we have in Jesus 🙏🙏🙏🙌

Amen Winifred. The lord is coming very soon for his faithful and righteous followers

Yes, He will be coming soon, in the clouds with great glory! And every eye shall see Him, and every knee shall bow to the King of kings, and Lord of lords!

No not really. If anyone confesses that Jesus Christ died for sins and rose again, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

How are you

So was I, Had to go through the darkest time of my life from 2007 to 2015. That was when I found strength and comfort in Jesus.

As a christian we have to not only walk on the mountain top but in the valley. Jesus said he would never leave us or forsake us, and as I look back can see that my precious LORD and SAVIOR was always there with me. OH WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

'How Great Thou Art' and 'In the Garden' are 2 old hymns that always take me to church. Found this story from listening to 'Crying in the Chapel' by Elvis, also very tender song.

It can be very difficult to live a pure life...indeed. I am trying.

I was thinking of the same thing. Are u still single?

Im the good Lord intended on him being single i too love this hymn
