Poem
CONFORMED INTO HIS IMAGE We live in a fallen, broken world where hardship and adversity are a way of life We have to deal with pain and suffering that can cause a lot of confusion and strife We often face heartache and sorrow that many times makes us feel empty and alone We sometimes feel like giving up under the weight so we start to complain and groan. The promise of God is that in the midst of all this he is working it out for our good We have to believe His word and stand in faith even when things are not understood He uses these things in our lives to change us and bring about a new way of behavior He knows just how much it will take to transform us to bring out Christ like character. We can choose to rejoice in our sufferings because God promises us He is in control He tells us that by enduring suffering we learn to persevere and do away with the old We are told that through perseverance our character is being changed and made new When perseverance has finished the result is new a character that produces hope too. We all know that the process of being changed is slow, and the road is hard and long But God has promised us that tears shed today, will become tomorrow’s praise songs By faith we believe God is in control and He is using all these things for His plan His goal is to do away with the sin in our lives and make us into a brand new man. We are told that our hope won’t be disappointed because God has given us his love We are being conformed into His image so that we are a reflection of Jesus up above One day when we stand before God sin will be gone we will have our full redemption Testimonies of His grace and love and power to bring about complete transformation.
