Danny Gokey - Hope in Front of Me (Official Lyric Video)

 

"Hope In Front Of Me"

 

There's a place at the end of the storm
You finally find
Where the hurt and the tears and the pain
All fall behind
You open up your eyes and up ahead
There's a big sun shining
Right then and there you realize
You'll be alright

Who knew 6 months ago I would ever say these words?  Today God provided a huge miracle.  A gift that I didn't deserve and something that was beyond my wildest dream.  It got me thinking about the little gifts that God has been giving me each moment for the past 6 months.  God gave me sunshine.  God gave me the smiles of the kids I work with... He gave me extra cuddle time on the days when I felt unloved.  God gave me friends who sought me out even when I felt unwanted.  God guided me to books and scriptures that spoke directly into the depths of my lonely heart.  God sustained me not only emotionally and physically but also financially. 

All of these thoughts brought me back to the biggest gift... even bigger than my miracle.  God gave me hope.  Not hope that is of this world but eternal hope.  I know my story doesn't end here.  He is still writing my story and he knows how it ends... I know how it ends... it ends with me gazing into His loving face and thanking him for his sacrifice for my sins of self dependence, my idols of wanting to be normal, my own self righteousness.  He covered all of that with his ultimate gift. 

I pray that as I continue to push forward in life and begin to leave the hard times behind, I won't forget the big and little miracles along the way.  He is my hope.
