How Can One Say They Love God and Yet Curse Him

I was walking beside a person
just the other day...
I was talking with him.  
As he went his own way.

All of a sudden...  He fell down 
and started to complain.
Becoming very angry...  He yelled out..
And cursed God's name...

"How can you curse the one 
you say you love?"
In his moment of pain...  
He blamed God above...

As he walked away.  I recall the look 
of anguish on his face.
I couldn't believe what 
happened in this place.

When we endure pain, 
 anguish and turmoil...
We need to be careful 
not to let our anger "boil..."

We need to recorgnize God
 and who he really is...
It's because of his mercy...  
That we breathe and live!

May his love wash us clean of all 
complaining and cursin'.
And his grace help us to be
 more of a Godly person.

During any affliction...  
God will always
 provide a way out...
This is God.  And what his 
character is about!

Allow his son...  Jesus...  
To calm your worries and fear.
Knowing that he's here to help.... 
And is always near!

He knows the pain and frustrations 
you may encounter...
His blood will help you to overcome. 
 This very hour!

God remains faithful.  His promises 
will leave us never.
He's worthy of all praise... 
 Both NOW and FOREVER!!!
