What Makes The Difference!
 

What makes each day seem beautiful,
Though the skies are filled with rain;
What makes our lives so full of peace,
Though we oft are touched with pain?

What makes each day seem beautiful,
When the road ahead is long;
What makes our lives so full of hope
When we seldom hear a song?

What makes each day seem beautiful,
Though our hearts are filled with care;
What makes our lives so full of joy,
Though there's sadness everywhere?

What makes each day seem beautiful,
When we do not find reward;
What makes our lives so full of love...
It's the presence of the Lord!

Re: What Makes The Difference!
 

You are reminding me of a poem I love in a book that was written in 1938.

This Same Jesus

Today on the road I met Him;
The very same Jesus who trod
The old, old lanes and the highways
On His beautiful errands for God.

I was troubled and heart-sick and weary
With a load too heavy to bear;
I cried aloud in my weakness
And suddenly He was there,

His gentle hand on my shoulder
Was lifting the burden from me,
And He dried my tears, and I knew Him,
It was Jesus of Galilee:

No different at all from the Master
On the Jericho road that day;
No different at all from the Saviour
Along the Samaria way,

And I am so glad that I met Him!
I knelt and I called out His name,
And I am so grateful I found Him
Unchanged and forever the same.
