[www.keralites.net] The Blessing Of A Storm

 

TheBlessing OfAStorn" I did not know His love before, the way I know it now. Icould notsee my need for Him, mypride would not allow Ihad it all , without a care, the self -sufficient" lie. Mypath was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky. IthoughtIknew His love for me I thought I'd seen His grace, I thought I did not need to grow, I thought I'd found my place. But then the way grew rough and dark, the storm clouds quickly rolled; The waves began to rock my ship, I found I had no hold. I thought I knew His love for me, I thought I'd seen His grace, I thought I did not need to grow, I thought I'd found my place. But then the way grew rough and dark, the storm clouds quickly rolled; The waves began to rock my ship, I found I had no hold. His lovingarms enveloped me, andthen Hehelped me stand, He said, You still must face this storm, but I will hold your hand". Sothrough the dark and lonely night , Heguided me through pain. I could not see the light of day or when, I'dsmile again. Yetthrough the pain and endless tears, my faith began to grow. I could not see it at the time, but my light began to glow. I saw God's love in brand new light, His grace and mercy too. For only when all self was gone could , Jesus love shine through. Itwas not easy in the storm, Isometimes wondered why. At times I thought, I can't go on. I'dhurt and doubt, and cry. But Jesus never left my side He guided me each day. And now I see as ne'er before how great, His love can be. How in my weakness He is strong, how Jesus cares for me! Heworked it all out for my good, althoughtheway was rough. He only sent what I could bear and, then He said "Enough!" HeraisedHis hand and said, Bestill" He made the storm clouds cease. He opened up the gates of joy and flooded, me with peace... Isaw His face , I felt His presence strong I found anew His faithfulness, He never did me wrong... And now I know more stroms will come, but only for my good. For pain and tears have helped me grow, as nothing ever could... Istill have so much more to learn as Jesus, works in me: If in the storm I'll love Him More that's where I want to be, By,Wendy Greiner Lefko Have a bless day Lucy
