Do I mean it?

"Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings you glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain."


Mercy Me, "Bring the Rain"

There does come a time when we have to get back to the basics. And this is it: Do I believe God is God and I'm not? When a child dies, when cancer comes, when I feel alone, sick, in despair, do I believe that I can trust His heart? If He is who He says He is, then I need to do just that regardless of what it looks like to me from my perspective. I heard once that everything in my life is filtered through hands of love--His hands of love. I do not pretend to understand this, but I do believe--and please, Lord, help my unbelief.
