Infinite Love

Categories: Future, Suffering

I am happy for God to lead me out
But not so content to be led in
For I know what the present is all about
The future’s scary because it’s unseen.

Yet all my tomorrow’s are in His sight
He has plans especially for me
Through the brightest day and darkest night
Will lead from my time to eternity.

The situation I find myself in today
May not be to my liking at all
“Please take this pain and hardship away
I don’t think I can scale this wall.”

Yet it’s in these painful, difficult days
God’s preparing me through my tears
To walk by faith, and follow His ways
Simply trust in spite of my fears.

Then as I learn to listen, in God to rest
By His grace, His peace floods my soul
I discover that His way is always best
Through my trials I’m being me whole.

So, setting my eyes on spiritual things
All the glories in heaven above
I begin to understand God’s perspective
And appreciate His infinite love.
