Blessings

There is a song on the radio that has really spoken to my heart. It is called Blessings. Beautiful song that talks about how we can't understand the hurt and pain that we go through, but through it all God is there for us. She speaks such honesty that I find refreshing. She sings about crying out about doubting where God is. Sometimes as Christians we think this is wrong. It is not and it is healthy. At the same time the important thing to remember is that God is here. Just Friday morning I wrote in my prayer journal that I couldn't understand where God was and I was mad. I was feeling lonely ( once again) . And you know what happened. The rest of the day I felt better. God didn't desert me because I was honest. He reminded me throughout the day of his blessings. Nothing changed, but there was just this peace that all was going to be okay. 

As I listen to the song I am reminded once again that God doesn't create the hurt in our lives but he can give us blessings in spite of the hurt that others and circumstances can create in our lives.

What are some blessings that have come out of maybe a hurtful or difficult time?
Maybe it is a closer relationship with a spouse
maybe it is a deeper appreciation for health
maybe it is deeper appreciation for family
a deeper walk with God
maybe God has introduced new people into your world as you share like circumstances
maybe what has been taken away from you as you given you more time for someone or something else

Whatever it is you may be experiencing remember God is there for you. He hears. He knows. Keep praying.

Take time to listen to the video
