Sometimes when we don’t get what we asked God to give….
Good Morning Friends,
So something you asked for wasn’t granted,
And that’s filled you with remorse and outrage.
You feel with God somewhat disenchanted,
God is probably not with you on the same page.
Who has understood who wrong?
God has been with you all along.
We have, at best, very limited vision,
We are never able to see the big picture.
When we subject God’s will to derision,
We are passing a very unkind stricture.
God is always good, He is always kind,
But, sometimes with His will we are not aligned.
We don’t always know what is good for us,
But, God, He always knows the best.
With our limited intelligence we can’t discuss,
Why God made us go through a difficult test.
Who knows He was preparing us for something great?
When we thought He left us in poorer state.
He would give us better than we deserve,
We should always rejoice in this trust;
Think of what for us He has kept in reserve,
When and if His will fills us with disgust.
“God, I thank you for all that you do for me,
Even for those gifts I can’t immediately see.”
….we should be sure He’s thinking of giving us better.
