Challenges keep visiting us all
Whether we want them to or not
They're perennial guests to our doorstep
Some, unwelcome; some we invite in
Some, easy to tackle; some, hard
Challenges are those cold, sticky mud
Beneath rows of barbed wire
We have to crawl through day by day
The high roof we all have to jump to touch
The incessantly churning sea...
We all have to sail across to reach terra firma
They're the ultimate tester of mettles
But they shouldn't be roadblocks in our paths
To glory. We never journey through them
By our lonesome, for God leads the way
So we mustn't be fearful of challenges
That confront us. They teach us who we are
And what we are truly made of
So whatever challenge YOU face, my friend
Let it be what nectar is to a bee!
