I think it's ...Thanks so much for your honesty. I think it's natural for our first instinct to be to turn away from the kind of pain that comes from deep suffering. But in my own life, I've found that it is in those times, when I simply can't take another step on my own that I truly get a glimpse of the comfort and peace God can provide. In those moments, God's presence has been so real I could almost touch it. I would never wish the pain of those moments on anyone, but looking back I truly think I was closer to God in those moments than at any other time in my life because I had no choice but to rely on His strength and let Him hold me up because I had no strength of my own. It is in those moments that God's love was real to me.Lori Fairchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773662774345939679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561837919740137511.post-18455223461545895942010-10-06T20:22:51.846-05:002010-10-06T20:22:51.846-05:00This song "Held" was literally in my hea...This song "Held" was literally in my head when I clicked on the daily blog. I will be completely honest in saying that when I hear this song on the radio my first instinct is to turn it off. The thought of going through minimal pain and being "held" in the arms of Jesus is something I can very easily wrap my brain around. However, the thought of suffering unbearable pain and KNOWING that Christ will see me through is so beyond my comprehension. I WANT to be rescued, saved from nightmares- we all do. I find myself feeling very challenged upon reading this blog entry to truly trust in the Lord to carry me through earthly suffering and to accept his far reaching love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
