Poetry
God didn't promise all rainbows,
Prosperity, health, and ease,
A life with smooth pathways, no bends in the road,
No trouble-free life guarantees.
Sometimes pain carries a purpose
Which we may not see 'til the end,
Whatever the suff'ring or heartache,
On His strength we always depend.
Heartache and evil surround us,
We're not exempt from the pain,
But we have a promised future
Free from this earth and its stain.
We all have a longing for Heaven,
To be held in His arms filled with love,
No longer feeling that we're incomplete,
Belonging and wholeness above.
This is but a moment in His divine plan,
Eternity lies ahead,
He's promised His presence and strength for the now,
One day will be rainbows instead.
Carol A. Penhorwood
"For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently."
Romans 8:22-25 (NLT)
