Sweet Jesus
Sweet
velvet air after the summer rain
Sweet
autumn peaches and sugar cane
Sweet,
sweet kisses of a mother
A
smile from a sister or a brother
Sweet
joyous riot pouring from the playground
Newspaper
kite, geese in flight
And crickets chirping in the night
Sweet,
sweet, sweet Jesus
Never
was ever a sweeter than You
Sweet,
sweet, sweet Jesus
No one, not anyone is sweeter than You
Lilly
of the valley, Rose of Sharon fair
The
fragrance of Your mercy lingers everywhere
Sweeter
lover than this no one has ever known
You
gather up our sin and take it as Your own
Sweet,
sweet world within my lover’s eyes
Sweet, golden dance of the sunrise
Sweet,
sweet honeysuckle vine
Sweet,
the honeycomb sweet the wine
Sweet
little bird singing outside my window
With
a tweet tweet and O the deep
Calling
unto deep
Sweet, sweet, sweet Jesus
Never was ever a sweeter than You
Sweet, sweet, sweet Jesus
No one, not anyone is sweeter than You

We tend to question God on the big things...things that only He can understand; things that He alone could bear on His cross. But he shows us mercies that are new every morning. He shows us things our dim eyes can see. He shows us His little things because we can't always see His big things. He draws little pictures for His "Little Faiths" (as He calls us) because we can't really see the big picture right now. The day is filled with His little "I love You's" scattered all around us. They are there to lift our hearts if we only allow it. He whispers His love to us constantly in the little ways. And sometimes shouts it for us in ways that seem big to us.
One of my hero's of the faith said "we ought not to be weary of doing little things
for the love of GOD, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed."
(Brother Lawrence)
We can draw near to God by looking for His little blessings and leaving little love notes for him throughout our day
