Devotional: Ginny Owens-If You want me to
These are the lyrics to Ginny Owens (a female contemporary Christian artist) song "If You want me to". As you read them, think of what she's saying... 

The pathway is broken
The signs are unclear
And I can't find the reason
Why You brought me here.
But just because You love me, the way that You do
I will go through the valley
If you want me to.

Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first steps.
And I'm clingin' to the promise
That You're not through with me yet.
And if all of these trials bring me closer to You
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to.

It may not be the way I would have chosen.
'Cause it leads me through a world that's not my home.
But You never said it would be easy.
You only said I'd never go alone.

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help.
I'll remember the suffring
Your love put you through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to.

We all go through hard times in life, but God is right there by our side.  Actually, if everything was peachy keen 24/7, we'd never grow in our faith.  It's because of  those hard times where we can only turn to God for help that we grow in our faith.  So next time life hands you a smack in the face, remember, God is right there with you, and you're gonna grow in Him because of those hard times.


see Psalm 46:1-3
     James 1:2-4
     Romans 5:10-12
Tough times make you grow!
