I know this song.
It is a beautiful song. It is a personal, emotional, conversation with God, a conversation telling Him about our needs, through sleepless nights. Through tears, our desperate pleas...our prayers.
"We pray for healing, for prosperity. We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering"
Desperate pleas, sleepless nights, tears and suffering...blessings?
We want His blessings, we want His healing, for ourselves, for our loved ones, especially our loved ones.
The thing we need to realize, even in the midst of our suffering, is that our desire may not be His. The mercies we cry out for are, often times, not the mercies we get...but, what if they are? Look again and you will see...
"What if the trials in this life are Your mercies in disguise?"
The beautiful truth that this song sings is something I have learned...God Himself has sung it to my heart...life on this earth is not His desire. His desire is our life with Him.
"The pain reminds us that this is not, this is not our home."
Look again...what if His mercies are in disguise.
