The Best Father
For this post I want to talk about a song that I wrote recently called "the best father." If you follow my personal instagram account then you know that for the last year or so I've been dealing with some stomach pain & had many tests run which all came back negative, which sounds like a good thing, but it still doesn't tell me what's wrong with my stomach. So in the heat of this uncertainty with my health, I sat down to write this song for my internship & it just put into melody all the things I was feeling.
The verse of the song says "even when I can't see the miracle you're working out for me, I choose to trust it's just beyond my reach." That miracle being my healing & knowing & trusting that He has the answer & He wants to give it to me & it's just beyond my finger tips, but it's not the right time for me to be healed yet.
Over the last few months, Jesus has been teaching me the concept of daughterhood - which will be a separate post. But it started with this concept of "He's a good father & He wants to give me good things." That was another note up on my dorm room wall lol.
So that became the song in my heart & where the chorus came from:
"you're a good father & you want to give me good things, but even if you don't, you're a good father."
When you understand that Jesus wants to give you good things, but even if He doesn't, that He's still good, it's a whole perspective change. Sitting here today, my stomach issues aren't gone, but I still trust Jesus & know that He is the BEST father. He knows better than I do & I trust that more than I want healing.
Here are the full lyrics to the song:
