God's Handwriting...

A poem that has blessed me so very, very much. It often comes to mind on days when the world is crashing around me and I am broken hearted over the many evils and sorrows therein. GOD is always the answer.

"He writes in characters too grand

For our short sight to understand;

We catch but broken strokes, and try

To fathom all the mystery

Of withered hopes, of death, of life,

The endless war, the useless strife -

But there, with larger clearer sight,

We shall see this - His way was right."

 

John Oxenham

 

All I have to do is follow my Lord. However. Wherever. Whenever He calls me.

That's all.

 

I am comforted and at peace in His hands.
