I Wish I Could Tell You Things Will Get Better

I  Wish I Could Tell You…

I wish I could tell you that “things will get better.”
This isn’t always true, and not the
purpose of this “letter.”

I wish I could tell you that your 
problems will “go away.”
I wish all your worries would just
 “disappear” today!

I wish I could tell you that
 “everything’s going fine.’
But many people are going 
through a difficult time.

I wish I could tell you that you will live forever.
We can’t fool “father time!”  
Not now or never!

I want to tell you of a savior’s
 redeeming grace.
He can restore and put 
 your life on a  solid place!

I want to tell you that no matter 
how things might “go sour.”
Jesus will never leave you 
and will help at any hour!

I want to tell you that perhaps 
things look “discouraging.”
Christ’ words of love are the most encouraging!

I want to tell you that this can be an exciting moment!
By accepting Christ and his blood’s atonement!

I wish for you God’s best for 
today and tomorrow!
He gives you all that you need!  
You don’t have to “borrow!”

I wish for you the very best which is true and pure!
An everlasting life with Christ….  
Eternal and secure!
