One of God's finest gifts?

"Loneliness. Could it be one of God's finest gifts? If a season of solitude is His way to teach you to hear His song, don't you think it's worth it?"  Max Lucado



"'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?
What if the trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

What if trials of this life - the rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home...."
