Poetry
Heartaches in this life are common to man, but for the most part they won’t last forever.
The Lord has promised to be my refuge in the most difficult of times, and that he will forsake us never.
The more difficult the trial, the more abundant he is able to bestow his grace.
If not for the wonderful benevolence of our father much more difficult would be our race.
His tender mercies are fresh, and new daily to those which are called his own.
For what would it profit for his own children to fall through heartache, and not make it safely home.
Some heartaches are like small pebbles dropped into a pool of water, producing small ripples that soon vanish away.
Other trials can be like huge boulders hurled into a calm pond producing large waves that have lasting stays.
They are all part of Gods providence for a person life, and they are plotted on a very particular course.
Trials, disappointments, heartaches have a design, that is to conform us to his sons image, making the Lord our only source.
No born again Christian goes through a heartache where they don’t get the opportunity to view the Savior in much clearer light.
Even though we would not choose a particular trial for ourselves we relish the increase that we gain in spiritual sight.
How else could the bible command us that we should count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations.
The trying of our faith, though uncomfortable at times works in us those things that please the Lord, like patience.
None of us have immunity from heartache, nor do we ask for them but once a part of our lives we must have something to learn.
Primarily to teach us to put our dependence in his grace and mercy, and for an increase in his spirit we should yearn.
We know that no heartache can join itself to us in this life unless ordained by God, yet even then it will work out for our good.
We must learn to put our trust in him unconditionally, regardless the enormity we must let it work in us as it should.
I know victories in this life are short lived, for I’ve had many victories only mere moments later to appear completely undone.
Yet my father knows not discouragement in the sense I do, for he has promised to present me a spotless bride to his son.
The sufferings, disappointments, heartache in this life aren’t worthy to be compared to the glory one day he will reveal in us.
Christ must dwell in our hearts by faith so we can be rooted, grounded in love so that we can comprehend the breadth, the length, the depth, and height of Christ love for us, if only in him we put our trust.
