Dear Friend,
What would it be like
If you never had a care;
Never had a trial,
Or a burden to bear?
What would it be like
If your faith was never shaken;
If you never had a doubt,
Or ever been mistaken.
What would it be like
If you were always warm;
If you never felt a chill,
Or had to face a storm.
If all your goals were met,
And all your bills were paid,
And when the sun bore down,
You always had some shade.
You'd never lost a loved one,
Or had to suffer pain -
And the words "Well done!"
Were a constant refrain.
If no seasons changed,
No trees gave up their leaves;
And you lived in a world
Where no one ever grieves.
A world like that?
God could have made it -
But it was this world
That he created.
In a world like that,
With no extremes -
Who would call on God,
Or have a need for dreams?
This world, with all its sorrow,
Its tribulations and its pain;
Its concerns about tomorrow,
And all the things we can't explain.
Did NOT come about through chance,
It was not mere "evolution",
It was not "random circumstance",
Or some genetic substitution.
God spoke it into existence,
Laid it out according to plan -
According to divine providence,
That we may not yet understand.
So let us learn, then, to seek HIS will,
And His ALWAYS outstretched hand -
And His grace will suffice until,
He leads us to the promised land.
Glory be to God.
"...come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!"
Matt. 25:34
