a classic blessing

I will rise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
there are ten thousand charms.

Christ holds everything and is all good. We choose to come to Him and fall into His arms becuase He embraces us. He deisres to hold us and hold us close to Him. I honestly believe that God wants to bless us and does so. But His idea of blessing is so different from ours. Blessing looks different to Him. I am reading The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis and it clearly outlines how God is all-good and the trials He has us endure are really a blessing, just the blessing is so radically opposite of our understanding that we take it as punishment when really it is God working in us and working to perfect us.
