Story Behind the Song
If we’re honest, life is made up of gains and losses. Learning to live between them and not lose heart is part of the deeper work. The compelling promise of authentic biblical hope is that no matter what life hands us, God is good and present with us in each circumstance. For me, this promise of hope has made all the difference in seeing life and beauty recovered in the midst of heartbreaking loss.
