I was given this poem, when I went through major STORMS in my life. I hope that you like it.
Through the Storms!!!!!
I didn't know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I couldn't see my need for Him,
my pride wouldn't allow.
I had it all, without a care,
the "SELF-SUFFICENT" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.
I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I didn't need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rooled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor wouldn't hold.
The ship that I built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It feel apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.
I had no strength or faith to face,
the trails that lay ahead.
And so I simply prayed to Him
and bowed my weary head.
His loving arms enveloped me,
and then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still m ust face this storm,
but I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night,
He guided me through pain.
Icouldn't see the light of day
or when the storm might wane.
Yet through the aches and endless tears,
my faith began to grow.
I couldn't see it at the time,
but my light began to glow...
I saw God's love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could Jesus' love shine through.
It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, "Why?"
At times I thought, "I can't go on."
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But Jesus never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.
And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong,
how Jesus cares for me!!
He worked it all out for my good,
although the way was rough'
He only sent what I could bear,
and the He cried, "ENOUGH!!!!"
Now I know more storms will come,
but only for my good.
For pain and tears have helped me grow
as naught else ever could.
I still have so much more to learn
as Jesus works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
that's where I want to be!!!!
