Romans 5:3-5

Sometimes it rains
And we tend to lose sight
The clouds overtake us
And make dim our light

We’re anguished and hurt
We see nothing to gain
And we turn to Him asking
“Why would you bring pain?”

Yet He may remain silent
Offering not a word
And cause us to question
If prayers have been heard

For a time we may suffer
In worry or fear
And don’t recognize that…
We do preservere

He does not leave us
For we are never denied
We may not feel him
But He’s there at our side

And when the rain clears
And our hope is renewed
We give Glory to GOD
That he carried us through!

Jesus Bring the Rain

Romans 5:3-5

3
Not only so, but we[a] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Sometimes - when times are tough we question why God would “put us through it”.  But I think this scripture explains why God puts the hard times before us and why it is necessary for us to endure them.  Right now…I’m having a hard time with a few things.  But I know where to turn…and to be patient.  Usually when things are down… God is up to something.  So I’ll pray that whatever he intends for me to learn from this is accomplished as he intends.  So in the words of Mercy Me….Jesus Bring the Rain!

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I’ve gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It’s never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there’ll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that’s what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain

I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
