Blessings In Disguise

 

It’s hard to understand why

Things happen as they do.

When falling prey to illness,

God is there to see you through.

 

Questioning why this happened,

No answers can be found.

The hidden secrets of our Lord

Is to help your faith grow sound.

 

Suffering isn’t easy

As many will agree,

But the end result is what God seeks,

The person you’ll come to be.

 

Chosen for a reason,

You’re precious in God’s eyes.

He knew through illness you’d grow to be

Someone special and very wise.

 

Like Job, who lost all he had,

And held out through his woe

Because his faith in God was strong,

He gained much more.  And so,

 

My friend, I’m here to give you

A message from our God.

Take comfort and know He’s faithful,

As He offers His staff and rod.

 

So when your heart is feeling down,

Know your God is always near.

You’re never alone, as he holds you close.

To Him, you’re very dear.
