Reminders Through Songs
For the past couple of weeks, my brain has been full of thoughts floating around with non-cohesive sentences. I've been wanting to write for a while, but I just couldn't put words together. There really hasn't been a lot of new things to share, yet I wanted to share some thoughts with you all.
Over the past couple weeks, I have been listening to a lot more music than usual. I find a lot of comfort in many many songs. I would either sit and savor the words of the song; or I would sing along to the words........words to songs that many of us know; songs that we sing in church or listen to on the radio.
A few years ago, our church's VBS theme was "Pandamania" and one of the songs was "He Knows My Name:
I love this song. It has so much depth, so much meaning, and most of all, it gives so much comfort to me. As I was listening to this song, it reminded me of the faithfulness of God and how God's plan for my life was laid out from the very beginning. All those surgeries, all the upcoming surgeries, all this current pain, etc was already laid out before time. Does the question "why me?" come across my mind once in a while?" Of course it does! It is human nature or rather Satan's doing that causes this feeling. However, the question quickly goes away and I never really cared for an answer. I know that God's purposes aren't always meant to be understood now (or maybe even never). As I told a dear friend, once we get to Heaven, we won't even care what the purpose was behind our earthly sufferings. The only thing we will care about or care to do is worship Christ and lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus
As I continue to struggle through this chronic pain, I try to remain hopeful and cling to Christ. As I continue listen to music (especially days when all my body can handle is to lie down) I am reminded about God's Unfailing Love that began before time and was shown on the Cross. Through the chronic pain and other health issues, God has taught me so much......mostly, to love Him more everyday.
