I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR by Fernando Ortega

Something beautiful has been happening the past two weeks.  My heart has been clinging to God in a way that is only born of pain.  I think this is one of the reasons God allows suffering in our lives - He knows that without pain we can become self-reliant and forget that we NEED HIM every hour.  I don't like pain and suffering - but if I am open to my Lord I can see the deep blessings that come from depending on Him and not on myself.
