Greater Gains In Present Pains

A dark night of suffering and sorrow
is often the bridge to a bright tomorrow.
God is not blind to our toughest tears;
He knows our fondest flaws and fears.
The valleys are filled with gruesome ills,
lift your heart and eyes to the holy hills...
Great healing and help are on the way,
Wipe away your tears, watch and pray.
With faith, dead bones will live again...
See the greater good in this present pain.

Inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NKJV)
