You Will Go Through

The storms will come to both houses,
one built on the Rock, the other on sand.
But only you show which one you’re in,
will it fall or ultimately stand ?

The trials in life that you go through
are just that: trials that YOU WILL GO THROUGH !
Life only matters through Heaven’s eyes
and THAT should influence what you do.

Be resolute and of a steadfast mind,
don’t waver in the thing you go to.
Through fire and flood you will truly find
that God is always there for you.

The storms will surely come to both houses
and what is it your life shows of you ?
Do you walk these days fixed and with purpose ,
will you, in this year that is new ?
