Sometimes, we must be hurt in order to grow.
We must fail in order to know.
We must lose in order to gain.
Some lessons are learned best only through pain.
Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed with tears.
Sometimes we have to be broken as we can be tender.
Sick, so we can rest and think better on things more important than work or fun.
Trip near death so we can assess how we are.
Sometimes we have to suffer lack so we can know God's provision.
Feel another's pain, so we can have a sense of mission.
So take heart, my friend, if you understand today;
Instead of grumbling, ask God what He means to say.
In order to learn, you must endure;
And learn to see the bigger picture.
In order to grow, you must stand.
Look beyond the hurt to God's loving hand.
That takes what is good, and gives you what is best.
And on this blessed thought: rest.
As your anxious heart with questions, wait
God's loving hand only gives what HIs loving heart dictates.
