Blessings by Laura Story

As I was going through a challenging week, I heard this song and the Holy Spirit used it as a powerful reminder that we are only missionaries in this world. Our real homes are in Heaven, if we know the saving power of Christ.

We are blessed with many good songs to listen to, I think about the first time that I listened to "I Can Only Imagine" and in my mind, could see glimpses of what it may be like in our eternal home once our missionary work is done. We each need to practice good hospitality and invite our temporary neighbors here on earth to our real homes with our beautiful Saviour.

Read through this carefully and see what the Spirit shows you as this one helps us keep things in proper perspective. This life is but a vapor in view of eternity.

Laura Story - "Blessings"
We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'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 trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'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
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise
