Pain vs. healing

Pain, we've all had it at some point in time. For me, pain has been very real in the last years. Our family has been hurt very badly and there are many wounds that are still healing. The following song rings very true. (by Jill Phillips)

When you start to doubt if you exist
God believes in you
Confounded by the evidence
God believes in you

When your light burns so dim
When your chances seem so slim
And you swear you don’t believe in Him
God believes in you

When you rise up just to fall again
God believes in you
Deserted by your closest friends
God believes in you
When you’re betrayed with a kiss
And you turn your cheek to another fist
It doesn’t have to end like this
God believes in you

Everything matters if anything matters at all
Everything matters no matter how big
No matter how small
God believes in you
Oh God believes in you

When you’re so ashamed that you could die
God believes in you
And you can’t to right even though you try
God believes in you

Blessed are the ones who grieve
The ones who mourn and the ones who bleed
In sorrow you sow but in joy you’ll reap
God believes in you
Oh blessed are the ones who grieve
The ones who mourn and the ones who grieve
In sorrow you sow but in joy you’ll reap
God believes in you
Oh God believes in you

This song is an awesome reminder that through our pain there is healing that will come. That our heavenly Father loves us so much and we will reap the harvest in joy! :) I am seeing that in my life so much. This time of healing these past few months has been such a blessing. We are and will continue to be blessed. God believes in us...... :)

We have two robin's nests outside a couple of windows. One has the babies in it, the other just the eggs. What a beautiful reminder they are of new life. As I see how the mother bird cares for her young I can't help but think about how carefully our heavenly Father cares for us. Even better than that mother bird. This Spring will bring new life.
