Sometime, when all life's lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgements here have spurned,
The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet,
Will flash before us out of life's dark night,
As stars shines most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how all God's plans are right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
Then be content poor heart;
God's plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold;
we must not tear the close-shut leaves apart,---
Time will reveal the chalices of gold.
And if, through patient toil, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest,
When we shall clearly see and understand,
I think that we will say, "God knew the best!"
I think this is true.. when i and most of us live life impatiently.. cant wait to experience certain things/moments in life which we think it's the best at that time.Sometimes things turn out well when God is gracious.. sometimes we just got to learn it the hard way when things din turn out the way we want it.. all i can say is God is good..and i know it.I guess many of my bros and sisters will agree with me, though some may strongly disagree.Do we TRUST God that things will turn out true and the best for us even when we know He's good?Even when things look their very worse...God says to me and His children out there..."This is what the LORD says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Jere 29:10-12
