GOD's Hand

Sometimes we must be 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 be broken,

So we can be tender;

Sick, so we can rest and think better

On things more important than work or fun;

Trip near death, so we can asses 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 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 hands

That takes what is good

And give what is best.

And on this blessed thought: REST

Ask your anxious heart, with questions: WAIT

God's hand only gives, what his loving heart dictates.
