Today our Scripture is Luke 7:32 ‘Jesus said you’re like children who refuse to be happy’

June 11, 2025 /

I didn’t understand this verse when I was very young. Now I realise, just as in Jesus day, there are still those who refuse to weep in repentance and those who refuse to rejoice in salvation.

Before you listen to the song, ask God to speak to you through these words from Scripture. Don’t worry too much about the tunes, I’m just putting the words to simple easy to sing and play melodies which will hopefully help the words sink in!
