Jesus Wants you to Know

If You never felt pain,
Then how would you know that I’m a Healer?
If you never went through addiction,
How would you know that I’m a deliverer?
If you never had a trial,
How could you call yourself an overcomer?
If you never felt sadness,
How would you know that I’m a Comforter?
If you never mad a mistake,
How would you know that I’m forgiving?
If you knew all,
How would you know that I will answer your questions?
If you never were in trouble,
How would you know that I will come to your rescue?
If you never were broken
Then how would you know that I can make you whole?
If you never had a problem,
How would you know that I can solve them?
If you never had any suffering,
Then how would you know what I went through?
If you never went through the fire,
Then how would you become pure?
If I never corrected you,
How would you know that I love you?
If you had all power,
Then how would you learn to depend on Me?
If you life was perfect,
Then what would you need Me for?
I never said it would be easy,
I only said it would be worth it.


I am not sure who wrote this but I really like it. This week has not been a good one for me and all I can seem to say is "God help." Daily I'm reminded of how much I need God but on the hard days or tough situations I find myself in it really is God that gets me through. I'm not sure how people make it through life without God. Trusting God is definitely not an easy thing to do. I know in my head that each time in my life that things haven't gone how I wanted them to that God's plan was so much better than mine but it really doesn't make going through those situations any easier or hurt any less. Today in church we sang the song, "I Surrender All" and my eyes were definitely watering during that song. It's easy to sing the words but it's so much harder to mean them.

Here is the first verse and chorus:


All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

God, help me mean the words to this song...
