Words for the Heart Monday

This Too Shall Pass

If I can endure for this minute

Whatever is happening to me,

No matter how heavy my heart is

Or how dark the moment may be-

If I can remain calm and quiet

With all the world crashing about me,

Secure in the knowledge God loves me

When everyone else seems to doubt me-

If I can but keep on believing

What I know in my heart to be true,

That darkness will fade with the morning

And that this will pass away, too-

Then nothing in life can defeat me

For as long as this knowledge remains

I can suffer whatever is happening

For I know God will break all of the chains

That are binding me tight in the darkness

And trying to fill me with fear-

For there is no night without dawning

And I know that my morning is near.

Jennifer, a blog friend, shared this on her blog, and I thought it would be perfect for this week because it surely spoke to my heart. Sometimes, we may go through a trial or a time of temptation, and we may wonder in our hearts, when will I get through this, but let us remember everytime, that morning must come, spring must come...another thing, is this the first time you have been through a trial or temptation? Remember how the Lord saw you through last time! God is surely still on the throne! Happy Monday!
