Healing Rain
"When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship- when he gets us absolutly alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then he begins to teach us."

                            - Oswald Chambers
"I was sure by now, God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
And it's still raining...
As the thunder rolls, I barely hear You whisper through the rain.
"I'm with you."
And as Your mercy falls,
I lift my hands and praise
The God who gives and takes away...

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
And You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone, How can I carry on,
If I can't find You?
And as the thunder rolls, I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you".
And as Your mercy falls,
I lift my hands and praise
The God who gives and takes away..."

                     ~ Ten Things God Won't Ask On That Day ~

1... God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2... God won't ask for the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many  people you helped to clothe.

4... God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you compromised your    character to obtain it.

5... God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if your performed your job to the  best of your ability.

6... God won't ask how many friends you  had, He'll ask how may people to whom you were a friend.

7... God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

8... God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.

9... God won't ask why it took you so long to seek salvation, He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in Heaven and not to the gates of Hell.

10... God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows your descision.

** NOTE- I was reciently forwarded this by a friend. It really gets you to thinking about what is important in life...
"Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off."
