Treasures in the Darkness

A good friend sent me the lyrics to the song below. My soul was so encouraged by the words. Reading them, I realized throughout this whole journey that the 'treasures in the darkness have only grown.' It is in the darkness that He has shown me the greatness of the Cross...the great cost that was paid and the great suffering that He endured for us, undeserving sinners...seeing the Cross shine more brightly than i ever have before is a treasure indeed! When my heart is weak and filled with immense sadness, I can rejoice and find such sweet solace in the triumph of the cross!

When Trials Come

by, Margaret Becker

When trials come, no longer fear
For in the pain, our God draws near
To a fine faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told
Within the night I know your peace,
The breath of God brings strength to me
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow

I turn to wisdom not my own
For every battle you have known
My confidence will rest in you
Your love endures, your ways are good
Your love endures, your ways are good
When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the Cross
So in its shadow I shall run
Till He completes the work begun
Till He completes the work begun
One day all things will be made new
I’ll see the hope you’ve called me to
And in your kingdom paved with gold
I’ll praise your faithfulness of old
I’ll praise your faithfulness of old
