This past weekend I was at an inspirational conference. While listening to one of the speakers share the path that life had taken them on, I came to an realization that often my greatest trials have been my greatest blessings, steering me away from what I want, and toward what I need.
Realization
The journey and the pain
are the soul-cost to gain
all that you never sought,
but what God for you bought!
What I could not foresee,
Christ loving gave to me.
Now who can I serve,
give the gift I didn't deserve?
Oh, all that God has planned -
far more than my selfish demand!
Far less than the world cries for,
far less, but so much more!
