I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever

[@Bei_Fong]

Keep it up, even if it means standing alone. You will NEVER regret being on God’s side. I am in my 20s, I have so many friends full of heart breaking regrets because of bad decisions and neglecting biblical principles.

[@lindalawson3580]

I too felt this same way when I was your age. I was in college & joined the Baptist Student Union, where I met wonderful Christian friends who made me feel welcomed & loved. Although I felt very burdened by a sense of who I was & wanted to know the truth of how to change my life from all the hurting. I hope you see my message and that you are in a better place. Jesus calls us as individuals, so in different ways. so I will pray that your heart is closer to Jesus & you know how much he cares & loves you.

Feb. 3,2023 @11:01am I'm a caregiver for an elderly patient with dementia who just had a rough morning. After settling her into her recliner, I played this song for her. She is now relaxed and sleeping. God is good! He calms the confusion and brings rest to the soul and mind. ❤️

[@7days_week]

Amen. He will wipe away every tear. Lord Jesus we love You.

[@RobHinkforth]

@@Marie-xm1gu Thanks for your entry (as well for the security guard’s original post). I took a unit of Clinical Pastoral Education many years ago and was assigned to an adult day care ward. As well as to another ward with full time residents, some of whole had dementia. People with dementia tend to feel lost and often don’t know why. As a student chaplain, what I did was bring my guitar and played old time hymns similar to this song. It always made the difference. Even those who couldn’t remember their names, suddenly were able to remember the lyrics of songs like How Great Thou Art. Music, especially worship music, has an unique ability to bring the best of out of us. When David played his harp in Saul’s Court - it brought Saul peace of mind (and King Saul likely had a terrible case of dementia going-on at the time) There is a beautiful movie called A Trip to Bountiful and it’s on KZbin. They haven’t taken it down. Softly and Tenderly is the theme song. Check it out. God bless

Of course, we should be scared to death with all the demonic exhibitions. You see, the effect it has on your son is the intended result the devil worshippers want to achieve. The servants of the devil want you to believe that it is just an entertainment. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. Your son has experienced the difference.

[@thomasjefferson6]

Finally- a hymn that is sung properly, at a proper tempo, with good harmony and no jazzed up instrumentals. It almost seems as thought people have forgotten how to sing hymns, perhaps because so many have forgotten hymns altogether. Hymns have largely been replaced by "christianized" pop music performed by entertainers.

As a baby I was nursed to sleep by my grandmother rocking me and singing this hymn. That was 75 years ago, and I have always loved it. I have never heard it sung more beautifully. Thank you.

One of the most beautiful hymns I know that reminds me of the price Jesus paid for us, then asks us to come to Him as we are, ready to receive us if we are willing and obedient. Though we strive so much to make "a living", the true living as we know it shall be through what He has prepared for us in the life to come, eternally with Him in our new homes prepared for us by our Lord. Indeed Lord Jesus, we have found great refuge in Your presence and look forward to when You will either come back to rule here on earth or You call us "home" to You. Maranatha!

Jackson copyright 2014 Help me my Lord, what should I do? I’ll now let go and now let you, guide me oh Lord and heal my soul from heavy heart with painful goal. I called you boldly not in shame. Where were you my Lord when I called your name? I prayed to you with so much praise I prayed to you for so many a days. Did you not see me dance for you, while silently singing a song or two? My hands held high to give you praise Come help your child, end earthly days. I’m crying out, what more to do? With solemn faith I've waited for you. He then spoke softly in my ear So sweet, so kind, I had no fear . “My child you are able to think and write, I have been with you both day and night, I will act in due time, keep your faithful stand, It’s MY will be done for I Am That I Am.” dance = Holy Ghost dancing

Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

[@danpalmer2992]

With songs like this, it's easy to see why God created music. It speaks to us in a way that almost no one can and captures our minds and hearts.

[@aimeefrorland4118]

I am going thru a hard time in my life this hymn reminds me that Jesus loves me!

[@jeremiasb.nitafan9649]

This is the very song sung during the end of evangelistic sermon that invited me to come to Christ Jesus my Savior and Lord. I cannot remember the sermon or part of it, but this song and tune stayed on in my mind. Thank you my Lord and my God.

[@marywalker2896]

My very favorite humm of all time..I remember singing this every Sunday at church as people were called up front to accept Jesus into their hearts and minds..

LOIS is my aunt's name. My last aunt and the one to whom I've been the closest all my life. A lifelong deeply devout Christian, she is approaching 94 and is now suffering from dementia. I ask all who read this to pray for her. She has been a lovely human being and is suffering so now. I pray she is made whole again when she crosses over. 🙏🕯🙏

[@okaforchristy7116]

Divine intervention in Jesus name Amen 🙏

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@gailpurretta7794]

I first heard this song in the movie "The Trip to Bountiful" and now I have the video and I listen to it on the pc as well. What a beautiful hymn!

One day when he comes back he will take all his children home

[@rachelsimbhu4383]

Yes he would !

[@honeybadger8942]

That ' one day ' is very very soon.

[@inTruthbyGrace]

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) *_We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord._* (2Cor 5:1-8) "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better" (Phil 1:21-23)

This is truly to my beloved and only sister in law Lois, its not a coincidence at all! i would have said this exact words for you except i know you, and you been a believer in Christ, ..i love you so much my sister, all we desire for you let it be so according to Gods will amen, Gods kindness never wavers.

Although "Softly and Tenderly" is frequently listed as an invitation song (altar call), it also well fits circumstances of the approach of life's end--i.e., it works as a funeral hymn.

[@gmcneill5562]

And it fits me, whenever I stray in my walk, talk and thoughts as I endeavor by the Holy Spirit's help to journey with God the Father. It fits me every minute of every day when the Holy Spirit points out my erring ways. Today was one such day. He led me to Matthew 18 on forgiving others always, especially when they cause you to sin; and then, by His Spirit, He led me to this beautiful hymn of His mercy, grace and love toward us all. Thank you Lord Jesus and thank you brother. In Christ with you, Arlette McNeill

[@jackhana7374]

Will be played at my approaching memorial

[@fabiolasanchez8148]

This song is so beautiful, I see Jesus telling me come home. God you are so wonderful. God is dunamis power. 🕌

[@navycolt41]

Page number 230 in your Baptist Hymnal......I've sung this so many Sundays...thanks Dad

[@jackhana7374]

What a sweet and soulful hymn!

[@basicaa]

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! - I John 3:1

[@CuteCanadianRedhead]

I agree with you the KJV is the most correct version of the bible we have. It is easy to teach a child what Thou,Thine, Art, and so forth are. It is the language of intimacy & respect towards God as it is no longer in common usage. My youngest is 5 and she is learning. My oldest are 17 & 16 and they have used the KJV their whole life. We read the scriptures every morning as a family and they learn. It really is beautifully written and I find it loses some of it's poetic beauty when modernized!

[@cowboyboots123]

I'm an atheist now but this song still resonates in my heart

[@jessiemontgomery5838]

You may be an atheist, but maybe your heart isn’t.

[@cowboyboots123]

@@jessiemontgomery5838 While I appreciate what you are trying to do (really I do!) but it would take mountains of evidence if I'm every going to believe that there is a supernatural super-being living outside of the spacetime continuum that has communicated with humans by such bizarre means as a talking donkey! I mean... donkey's can't speak Hebrew

[@pastoredwardsam2273]

Jesus is still at the door calling to make the difference in your life. Why refuse him. tomorrow may be late. decide now and believe in him and you never regret ever doing so .a great invitation to all.... very emotional.
