My husband's job of 26 years was terminated and the uncertainty of "what next" was heavy on our minds and hearts. Your song began playing on my phone as a message to me from a loving God and brought great peace to my heart. Thank you for being a vessel of God's love to me.
My son (6) is playing in the livingroom while I'm on the couch with a cup of coffee listening to this song. Out of the blue he says: who is singing so beautifully? He doesn't understand any English, we're from the Netherlands, but music is an language that reaches much further! ❤
Thinking of my family members in Israel and Gaza as I listen to this 😢please Lord hold them close❤ let them know you are holding them and give them courage ❤
This song appeared on my YT feed like the day after a cancer diagnosis, and was strong rope to hold onto as waves of fear and anxiety would wash over me contemplating what might lay ahead. God held me closer, calmed my heart, banished my fears and assured me that I was not alone.Now as I enter the last days of treatment, this little lullaby has been such a comfort and a reminder that He sees me and has my healing and my future,so I don't have to be anxious or fearful. Thank you God and the Gettys for this beautiful song.❤
As an old man and a relatively new Christian I say without shame that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is my Father, Elder Brother, Counselor, Savior, Priest, King, and more. Thank you, Getty family, for this music.
This song is truly AMAZINGand a BLESSING. About 2 years ago I got the bad news that I have Alzheimer’s ... but I am at peace because I know GOD is by my side through this journey.
Very comforting, after learning some of what the devil is currently scheming. Also, it makes me remember we are called to shine like stars in this darkened and perverted generation. Thank you. I wasn't afraid, but it has been a rough year, and now I have had to quit my job because of a broken arm. The Lord has never failed to supply my needs in the past, and I know He is with me now. He has freed me up for His purposes. God bless your family and your ministry, Dear Gettys! 💗
Look on the positives. All is good in Gods will for His faithful. Now, you dont have the distraction of a job, no doubt surrounded by unbelievers, who want to corrupt you with sin. You have all the time in the world to seek, and worship Jesus. Likewise, good is coming of the COVID pandemic. It is drawing millions to prayer, and isolating them too, away from the devils distractions.
Именно эта песня, помогла мне справиться с болезнь и её последствиями. Улучшила моё душевное состояние, давала надежду, успокаивала. Благодарю Господа, что он говорит в песнях через Вас!
So beautiful! This song has ministered to me at night and in many of my trials. I thank God a friend introduced me to the Gettys and this beautiful song! ❤
So many gifted songs you have written, co-written and preformed. This is one of the best, off all those great songs. Thank you for allowing God to work through you and touch men's heart and souls. May you and your wonderful,, beautiful family be continually Blessed by our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. In His Love Always ❤

Beautiful! Night is always my most difficult time as a wife and mama. I’m so looking forward to owning this newest album, Evensong. Thank you for your ministry. Jennifer from Ohio
the stars - "can you count their number" imagine this - it is your full time job to count stars . For 8 hours a day you count stars in pictures taken by Hubble. Let's say you count one star per second. In your 40 hour week you count 144,000 stars. In one year of 50 work weeks you count 7,200,000 stars. You retire after 40 years - having counted 288 million stars. They give you a gold star at retirement. Congratulations - you have counted less than 1 percent of the estimated total stars in the universe. Our God made each one of them and gave them all names. Think about that. Yes indeed - Consider the Stars (and the God who made them ! )
Thank you for that descriptive comment! Sometimes adding depth to it as you did can make all the difference between worship and doubt. The heavens indeed declare the glory of our God! His handiwork! How majestic He is!!!
Great things to consider! How blessed we are to consider the stars and the Loving God who made them! How wonderfully made all that is His Creation!🙏😇✝️
No wonder when King David the greatness of God he said in Psalms 8:3-4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?[ what a amazing statistic. Thank you for sharing that!!
This is not to denigrate your example but rather to enhance it. It is estimated that there are 100 billion stars in our own galaxy and that there are something like 10,000,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. That makes 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars - you need to come out of retirement.
BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God who died, was buried, and rose again from the dead on the 3rd day. believe this simple Gospel and you are FOREVER saved & sealed & rapture ready! AMEN..
Yes. The thief crucified next to Jesus believed and called out to the Lord to save him. Anyone who thinks they are beyond God’s mercy should take great comfort in this story. “One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”” - Luke 23:39-43. English Standard Version
Amen! Soon, we go soon. God bless you. I love you sis, Jesus loves you so much more! Someday very soon we will be praising Jesus together! We will all be there together. I can’t wait to meet all our brothers and sisters 😊💗
Seriously needed to listen to this tonight, hadn’t heard it before tho love the Gettys! Literally had been stressing about so many things and the words ‘do not be afraid’ were a balm to my soul 💕🙏
My son when he is young around 4 to 11 years old, every 10 minutes or so he would want to know Daddy or mommy is near by. Once he find out that is so, he would say never mind. But if no respond from us, he would immediately go search for us, and if he could not find us, he would sound the alarm - cry very loud.
So beautiful so lovely the backing of light of musicians so soft are such a match for Kristin lovely voice and deep love of God and his creation and his love for us Pam south african
EN ESPAÑOL. // CONSIDERA LAS ESTRELLAS. Considere las estrellas en el cielo; Mira hacia arriba y pregúntate, ¿puede contar su número? Considera las estrellas en el cielo; Paraguas para esconderse, una pista de baile del cielo. No tengas miedo No tengas miedo Considera las estrellas en el cielo; Cuando está más oscuro, brillan más brillantes Considera las estrellas en el cielo En cada angustia, oh niño, anímate No tengas miedo No tengas miedo Aquel que hizo todo esto y que tiene todo esto, Te sostiene en sus manos No tengas miedo No tengas miedo Considera las estrellas en el cielo; Diamante en un anillo. Sobre el Rey Niño. Considera las estrellas en el cielo; GRACIA que había prometido, viniendo a buscarnos No tengas miedo No tengas miedo El que hizo todo esto, dice "Tú vales más que esto" Y te sostiene en sus manos SAN
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this: Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you! Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything. Xxx
