Gains and Loses

When your questions far exceed your answers                                                           by incalculable margins; When your hope-filled                                                      
dreams of "Yes" in neon brights quickly turn                                                                into a dark and nightmarish pit filled with "No!";                                                           
When you have invested precious energy,                                                                   quality time, and a heart-full of passion                                                                       
to endeavors you are most passionate about;                                                             And when it seems that the seeds you planted                                                       
never took root and came to fruitition, take stock                                     
and remember that there are no lasting loses but only                                           eternal gains in a life lived and in things done for the Lord.
