Healing and HOPE
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13 NIV
Discovering Beauty in Adversity
by Kathie Iselin © fromPapaGod.com
On those days where the sky is cloudless and blue...
The sun slips away in a colorless view.
For sunsets become a spectacular sight...
Only when clouds remain to reflect the light.
The morning dawn also needs clouds in it...
For God's sunrise to become exquisite.
Then too clouds are needed for the earth to renew...
Creating yet another magnificent view.
For colors of the rainbow only appear...
If a storm is coming and those clouds draw near.
Yet if the beautiful hues are to remain...
Sunlight needs to be joined with a little rain.
So it is as we go through our lives each day...
Because our faith's strengthened when clouds come our way.
And the beauty here is in seeking God's Grace...
For He'll rescue us from whatever we face.
So in adversity, we'll find beauty there...
Along with Jesus, to lift what we can't bear.
"But as for me, I watch in hope
for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me."
Micah 7:7 NIV
