“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 NIV

It has been a challenging week. Feeling sick and weak for so long, as well as witnessing a loved one’s constant suffering has definitely challenged my faith. I doubt God’s love and tend to see Him as a harsh, cold being. When things were going well in my life, I felt close to God. Now it feels like He is very far away. I have learned that I need to pay attention to the daily ways that He blesses me. Sometimes the blessings seem small, when my need is so great, but I need to focus on the good things, and not discount these small things because the bad seems so overwhelming. Blessings include hearing the birds singing outside in the morning, seeing the beautiful sunrise, provision of my needs like water, electricity, food, shelter, etc.

About a week ago I had a dream, in which I was teaching a song to a group of children. It’s a simple song, but I think God was sending me a message that I so needed to hear: 

“My God loves me

In all the wonders I see

The rainbow shines through my window

My God loves me.”
