We None of Us are Orphans


"A God who cares about us as tenderly as a parent cares for a child cannot be an ethereal mist or a vague philosophical First Cause or a deistic absentee landlord. He must be recognized for what He truly is—a merciful, compassionate Father . . . "   Jeffrey R. Holland.

A broken arm, or broken heart; the swipe of poverty --
nothing that occurs in life can disprove God loves me.
This ever-dawning insight, this amazing comfort spurs 
my poor attempts to testify against the devil's slurs.
We none of us are orphans, but are in God's warm embrace;
 His tender voice will heal us when we look upon His face.
