A Comfort, I Hope

I may not say this the greatest, but I hope you will understand

Of our entirety, to God’s will, we must give full command

I know that you feel like you have been betrayed

Even when we think that God has gone, He has stayed

Maybe there was a spot or hurt inside him that God had cleaned

And in that moment, though we didn’t know it, God intervened

Deep within our minds and hearts is where He’ll start to heal

Sometimes we need to give even our life, on which Christ has put His seal

There are unexpected times, to us, that we must go

Because God’s understanding is beyond ours, we cannot always know

Let us remember not to claim our own desires, but only God’s will

If they are the same, however, our lives with these He’ll fill

It may appear that God has allowed that door to be closed in your face

When instead He has opened many more, kindness and compassion to show forth many a place

God always answers our prayers, but sometimes not with yes

There are times when no or not yet will be for the best

Life is not a free ride; there is work to be done

With Adam’s life came a job, responsibility, not to be shunned

Where there is sickness and sorrow, God’s mercy brings life

Though we may not see through it clearly, we must work through the strife

Let us open our hearts and let go with our hands

The healing, the good, the life, the Truth, the Love is God’s and not man’s

Though it is a gift, we must sacrifice, for it, our all

Never ceasing, always loving, always getting up after we fall

A mystery God is, He always was and will ever be

Time and time again He’ll show His great love for you and me

Next time things don’t make sense be sure to hold your faith and declare

For truly though our bodies die, a life is present there.
