A few years ago, while doing some intense personal healing work with a gifted counselor, God put several new songs in my mind, giving me both words and melodies. But until now, those songs have not been formally recorded.

That has changed with this month’s composing work. My dear Paul put in many hours to help flesh out and mix the instrumental parts for one of them. God knew I needed a helper who is especially gifted to help me share these songs with the world.

People often ask why we have to go through hardship and also may be tempted to think that no one else can really understand our own personal trials, scars, grief, or pain. But God always has some redeeming purpose behind our life trials. And only Jesus who suffered on our behalf truly understands our stuggles. He wants to meet us in our reflecting and remind us that He wants to broaden our perspective.

These were the fundamental thoughts that shaped my song called The Conversation. You can hear it and read the words in the video below.

Hopefully, we’ll record the other healing songs in the future. But for now, I pray this first one will bless your heart.
