I rarely felt secure as a child.  And I never felt sheltered as a young adult.  I almost always feel protected as a Christ follower.  In troubled times I remember who dwells in me and watches over me.  Jesus is my protector, my Savior and my closest friend.  I run to Him like baby chicks run to safety under their mother’s wing.

The Safe Place

There is a wonderful place,
Where you are completely safe.
In the world you may wonder and ask,
Is there truly a place we can go without lack?
Safe from the death sentence that destroys heart, body and soul?
Safe from evil that desires take control?
Safe from a life forever tainted and stained?
Safe from burden’s terrible heavy chains?
Is there a place where the angels sing?
Where in loving care there waits a loving King?
Where the sun shines and there is no worry lines on the face?
Where every sin and shame is forever erased?
Yes it is real and true.
There is such a place ahead for you.
In this place the air is clean with not a threat in sight.
In this place there is no darkness only light;
Safe from the sin and heartache of the worldly atmosphere.
However, in the care of Jesus your safe place is now right here.
Remember now your safe place is in Christ.
He is the shelter you can claim for each day of your life.

 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Philippians 1:6
