WHAT IF TRIALS OF THIS LIFE ARE YOUR MERCIES, LORD JESUS, IN DISGUISE

WHAT IF A THOUSAND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO KNOW YOU (LORD JESUS) ARE NEAR. WE PRAY FOR WISDOM, YOUR VOICE TO HEAR. WE DOUBT YOUR GOODNESS, WE DOUBT YOUR LOVE AS IF EVERY PROMISE FROM YOUR WORD IS NOT ENOUGH. ALL AWHILE YOU HEAR EACH DESPERATE PLEA, YOU LOVE US WAY TOO MUCH TO GIVE US LESSER THINGS.
WHAT IF YOUR BLESSINGS COME THROUGH RAINDROPS, WHAT IF YOUR HEALING COMES THROUGH TEARS, WHAT IF TRIALS OF THIS LIFE ARE YOUR MERCIES IN DISGUISE.
WHAT IF MY GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE THE ACHING OF THIS LIFE ARE THE REVEALING OF A GREATER THIRST THAT THIS WORLD CAN'T SATISFY. WHAT IF THE TRIALS OF THIS LIFE -- THE RAIN AND STORMS, THE HARDEST NIGHTS -- ARE YOUR MERCIES, LORD JESUS, IN DISGUISE.
BEAUTIFUL SONG ON THE RADIO THIS MORNING.
LOVE ALWAYS,
DIANE
