What if...

A friend sent this in an email to me a few weeks ago & I just keep reading it over & over... some good stuff... Hope you enjoy it & it touches your heart like it did mine...

If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I am a HEALER?

If you never had to pray, how would you know that I am a DELIVERER?

If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an OVERCOMER?


If you never felt sadness, how would you know that I am a COMFORTER?

If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I am a FORGIVER?

If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?


If you never were broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?

If you never had a problem, how would you know that I can solve them?

If you never went through fire, then how would you become pure?

If I gave you all things, how would you appreciate them?

If I never corrected you, how would you know that I love you?

If you had all power, then how would you learn to depend on me?

If your life was perfect, then what would you need me for?

-Love, Jesus

This is beautiful. I'm going to read it to Brad later, and I'm sure I will cry.

Thank you.

I know I'm taking a risk by stealing from Jesus and all, but I'm going to tweak this a bit and use it for my children at certain times. Believe me, I won't have to change much.
