Worth it All...

"I don’t understand Your Ways
Oh but I will give You my song
Give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
And with it You are pulling me closer
Pulling me into Your ways
Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I’m not looking for crowns
Or the water from fountains
I’m desperately seeking
And I’m frantic believing
That the sight of Your face
Is all that I’m needing
And I sing to You
It’s gonna be worth it
It’s gonna be worth it
It’s gonna be worth it all
I believe this, we believe it…
It’s gonna be worth it
It’s gonna be worth it
It’s gonna be worth it all
And we sing,
You are worth it
You are worth it
You are worth it all, Jesus
You are worth it (all my tears)
You are worth it (all my pain)
You worth it all…Jesus."



This is a song that I have been listening to over and over tonight. My mind is on Eternity, and my prayers are continual for the body of Christ. Over and over I get news of heartache and pain within the body and my heart goes out to my brothers and sisters in Christ. As I listen and meditate on these words one word comes to my mind: perspective. This song reminds me of what my perspective needs to be continually...and that is Eternity. I love how the phrase says "The sight of Your face is all that I am needing". It was said once to me that our life here on earth is a mere 7 seconds in Eternity...kinda puts things in perspective. Still I wonder in my heart why the heartache and pain here on earth? How does one cope when their world is turned upside down. Another phrase that stuck out to me was "You hold on to all my pain, and with it You are pulling me close, pullin me into Your ways..." Not that it takes away the pain, but looking at heartache and pain through Heaven's eyes....it does draw one into the ways of our Creator. No, we cannot understand His ways for Scripture tells us that they are higher than our own...but in His ways, we are drawn closer to Him and when we are drawn closer to Him we get to see from His perspective versus our own. When I stop and really consider what Eternity will be like, I have to know in my heart that in light of everything here on earth...it will be worth it all...with one glimpse of His face. Until then, I want to remain faithful in desperately seeking after Him for the sight of His face is all I am needing. Lord Jesus, please give peace and comfort to those who are hurting tonight. Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
