I woke up and could not get back to sleep. I had a strong urge to check the forum and I found this message. Now I know why I could not get back to sleep. The song is beautiful and straight from the heart of God. I have so experienced this song in my own life. That is why I know it is His heart for you and me. It is His heart for all His children. You did not click on it by accident. He had it waiting there for you for such a time as this. I can tell that your spiritual roots in Christ are very deep and they are fixing to grow even deeper. I believe someday you will look back on it all and rejoice as you see how His mighty hand worked in your life through this.
He doesn't take away the pain though, at least a lot of the time. That's why I get mad. I don't want to go through the pain another minute! I don't feel like toughing through it anymore. But still, I'm stuck in it.
It is not a coincidence that last night before I went to sleep my prayers were on this very subject. I was kind of asking God to help me understand why my life is not healed. Why is my body not healed when He bore horrible stripes for my healing? I believe He bore this pain for me so why can I not receive it? What am I missing? That is my prayer. Somehow, as I sit here writing this, I feel His answer to me for this time is, it is because He wants me to seek more of Him. That is the most I can get out of Him right now, but it is still hard for me to understand. So, I will press on. I know you will too.
