Inspiration for the Journey

Good morning all!

I stumbled upon this song on a friend's blog this morning, and the lyrics so spoke to my heart about who God is in this season of my life. It's a beautiful reminder of God's presence in our lives even in the midst of pain. I'm including the link to the YouTube video as well as the lyrics. May our Heavenly Father use these words and other words you encounter today, whether from the mouths of His children or in the context of song, to remind you of His unchanging love for you as His precious child.

"Jesus Bring the Rain" by MercyMe

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

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

I am Yours regardless of the clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
Suffering Your destiny
So tell me, what's a little rain

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

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God almighty
Is the Lord God almighty
I'm forever singing
