God’s ways aren’t our ways. So many times I can’t understand why a loved one who truly is a devoted servant of the Lord has to go through so many bumps in the road. This poem was written when I simply hurt for my loved one.
Sometimes I don’t understand, Lord,
Why a heart that’s been battered and scarred
Can’t have a time of joyful peace;
A life no longer marred.
After going through trials and heartbreak
And yet keeping a focus on You,
Why there’s not a time of rich, happy life
When all of life’s troubles are few.
I really don’t know the answer,
But I pray that You will impart
The comfort only You can give
With love straight from Your heart.
