This song resonates with my spirit so deeply; as does the old hymn "What 'Er My God Ordains Is Right" . Have you ever heard it? " Was Gott tut, das ist wohl­ge­tan" (original German language) was  written in 1676 by Samuel Rodigast for his friend Gastorius who'd become seriously ill;  Gastorius later recovered and wrote the melody to put his dear friend's penned words to music.  To this day, I desire a friend like that... you know... the kind that writes for you :)  I suppose there are a couple of reasons these songs feel so right, so real to my soul. It seems a bit deep to put into words but if you have a minute, stick around for my attempt at explaining.  Firstly, I've seen that so many in the Christian world believe only good/fun/exciting things happen to the ones God loves. It's like they believe that everything encountered is light, fun, and easy. Do you know anyone that seems to live under that falsehood? Maybe it's you; tha
