I have been struggling spiritually in an area of my life. As I pulled out my journal this morning to "document" it more and write down my feelings, I had an urge to read previous entries from the year before. As I did, God shed more light on my current state and provided me with assurance and some confirmation in an area that I was questioning Him and myself about.
As I discovered this, I also discovered that I had experienced similar feelings in the past and God brought me through it. And one entry and God's help on that one day spoke to me again today and renewed my faith. I am going to share with you the lyrics of a song that helped me a while ago. And then as I read through an entry soon after this entry that I had taken comfort in the words of this song, I discovered something else. I read how Paisley out of the blue one day, came over to me and placed her little arm around me and said "It's All Right." Oh my word it has given me goose bumps again. Paisley had no idea of the song just days prior. I think it was sign from God. And being reminded of that moment and blessing was what I needed for today.
If you do not keep a journal, I suggest that you do so. And if you do keep a journal, take the time and look through previous entries periodically, because God may have little nuggets of blessings for you with in those pages.
ALL RIGHT
written by Amy Grant, Dana Huff and Phil Naish
Looking out to the hills
To the setting sun
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come
Another change
Another end I cannot see
But your faithfulness to me
Is making it all right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knocking on heaven's door
Have taught me this if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come
I've heard it said
When the river's running high
You get to higher ground or you die
Well muddy waves of pain
Washed over me
And it only made me see
It's gonna be all right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knocking on heaven's door
Have taught me this if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come
When will I learn they're no guarantees
What strengthens hope, my eyes have never seen
But it won't be long
Till the faith will be sight
And the heavens will say
It's all right
This is merely a place of self-reflection for me. After recent events in my life, I have learned that although some doors of life open that we may prefer stay closed nice and tight while others close that we prefer stay wide open, God is there every step of the way and He can use anything for His glory and blessing!
