If You Never….

If You Never….

God Said…

If you never felt pain,

Then how would you know that I’m a Healer?

If you never went through difficulties,

Then how would you know that I’m a Deliverer?

If you never had a trial,

Then how could you call yourself an over-comer?

If you never felt sadness,

Then how would you know that I’m a Comforter?

If you never made a mistake,

Then how would you know that I’m forgiving?

If you knew all,

Then how would you know that I will answer your questions?

If you never were in trouble,

Then how would you know that I will come to your rescue?

If you never were broken,

Then how would know that I can make you whole?

If you never had a problem,

Then how would you know that I can solve them?

If I gave you all things,

Then how would you appreciate them?

If I never corrected you,

Then how would you know that I love you?

If you had all power,

Then how would you learn to depend on me?

If your life was perfect,

Then what would you need Me for?

AMEN!!

Songs on my mind....

In learning how the Lord speaks to me I've figured out lately that I often hear him through words...in songs, books, signs, etc.

Recently JJ Heller's song "Control" has been speaking to me and it is definitely hitting that little sore spot in me...the lyrics that hit me the most are these:

Oh, control

It’s time, time to let you go

Perfection has a price,

but I cannot afford to live that life

It always ends the same;

a fight I never win

Reminds me that this fight to be perfect won't get me anywhere...I gotta stop fighting for it, and instead be immensely thankful for every little tiny blessing God's given me!

Now here's another song that I am LOVING right now! Also I love pictures so I thought it would be fun to put the lyrics with pictures...see if you can figure out the song!
