The Monument
God,
Before He sent his children to earth
Gave each of them
A very carefully selected package
Of problems,
These,
He promised, smiling,
Are yours alone, No one else may have the blessings
These problems will bring you.
And only you
Have the special talents and abilities
That will be needed
To make these problems
Your servants.
Now go down to your birth
And to your forgetfulness,
Know that I love you beyond measure.
These problems that I give you
Are a symbol of that love.
These monuments you make of your life
With the help of your problems
Will be a symbol of your
Love for me.
Your Father.
This helps me realize that the trials are there so we can grow stronger, and so we will be prepared for whatever may come our way later. It is just simply amazing when we cannot see the whole picture ourselves yet but the Lord can and will guide us through. Love this! :)
