GOD’S HAND:
Sometimes……

We must hurt in order to grow;
We must fail in order to know,
We must lose in order to gain.

Some lessons are learned best
Only through pain.

Sometimes….

Our vision clears
Only after our eyes are
Washed with tears.

Sometimes……

We have to broken,
So we can be tender,
Sick so we can think and rest better,
On things more important
Than work or fun;
Trip near death,
So we can assess how we’ve run.

Sometimes…..

We have to suffer lack,
So we can know God’s provision,
Feel another’s pain,
So we can have a sense of mission.

So take my heart, my friend,
If you don’t understand today,
Instead of grumbling,
Ask God what He means to say,
In order to learn you must endure,
And learn to see the bigger picture.

In order to grow, you must stand;
Look beyond the hurt
To God’s loving hand
That takes what is good,
And gives what is best,

And on this blessed thought, rest;

As your anxious heart,
With questions, waits,
God’s hand only gives
What His loving heart dictates.

Sometimes the Lord calms the storm;
Sometimes He lets the storm rage….
And calms His child.

Better the storm with Christ…
Than the smooth waters without Him
