You are no stranger to sorrow and have lived in the shadow of pain.
The losses you have suffered seem to bind your heart like a chain.
Your daily search of the scriptures does not seem to reveal
Any purpose or reason for all the anguish you feel.
You've wondered if God has allowed all the trials to be
In order to spare you all the sorrow that He alone can see;
And I know your struggle to exonerate your personal belief
That you should be victorious, and free from grief,
To justify conviction deep within your soul
That somehow, I still am firmly in control.
The world is in chaos and is filled with iniquity
And Nations suffer most who have turned away from me.
Humans endure indignities, leaders have hearts of stone,
Millions exterminated, the rest too weak to groan.
Now I didn't create the suffering and pandemonium that exists,
But I designed the delicate axis on which your planed lists.
The earth is in a galaxy that is vast, far and wide,
Yet man cannot comprehend a single ocean's tide,
Nor discover the wonders of his own galaxy,
With myriad's more worlds man can never see.
How can the finite mind hope to understand
How I hold all the stars in my hand.
Yet everything that happens whatever it may be,
Does not include provisions for reasoning man can see.
I am the God of infinity, and you may not know my ways,
But you can have my fellowship through prayer, thanksgiving and praise.
Bear in mind, while wondering and questioning too,
That the God of all the Universe - has given His son - - for YOU.
The Creator of all the Angels and stars, descended from above,
That in every trial, every day, YOU may know God's love!
