Experience of Christ: Resting in Him

On the 17th of November morning, I was on a distribution trip to Jagdalpur and had the intention of skipping the Wednesday fellowship, which I generally did while on a trip. But since we did not have an appointment early in the morning I decided to join with the initiation from my brother. Therefore, we attended the fellowship and it turned out to be a great blessing to me. The burden of the fellowship was on experiencing Christ and resting in Him in the midst of all trials and tribulations. I took down the key points from the fellowship and considered them carefully. The next day we left for Raipur. While on board the flight from Raipur to New Delhi, the Lord burdened me to write a hymn on the points from Br. RC's fellowship. As I began to write, I enjoyed the Spirit's anointing so much so that I could easily write a hymn, line by line, stanza by stanza within an hour and forty-five minutes. I started when the flight took off and finished when the flight landed.

Psalms 23
1  In the midst of hardship, 
Forget not you're a sheep.
Jesus Lord is your Shepherd alway!
No matter what great pain,
He'll not leave you to faint.
He'll shepherd and lead you all the way!

Rest and enjoy,
Then you'll always rejoice!
Being one with Jesus,
In the Lord whom you trust.

John 14:17; 2 Cor. 2:14
2  Spiritual reality,
You must know and must see
Through God's dispensing in you daily;
Through your failures at times,
Yet know, in you He triumphs
If at the altar you lay fully.

Song of Songs 1-2
3  An intimate story 
Betwixt God and you be
Ever told by His passing through you.
Surely then you'll discern
And all the lessons learn:
God’s will in all is to mature you. 

Isaiah 45:15; Matthew 11:29-30
4  God often hides Himself.
Pressed feeling in yourself?
Never struggle nor murmur you'd be.
Rest in your situation,
Spiritual oppression,
Builds up your spiritual(potential) energy.

Psalms 23:4; John 4:14
5  Even when in valley,
God desires you wholly.
Touch the Lord by faith, not by feeling.
The fountain of water
Unto life eternal 
Will spring up out of your inmost being! 

Matthew 7:14; 2 Timothy 4:8
6  Don't give up, come what may,
Tears and trials on the way
Only helps walk the constricted way.
Carry on your service,
Your church life never miss,
Purified you'll be; and crowned that day!
