Test Results

Life was not meant to be easy.

It is a test -
Of how we handle defeat;
Of how we survive heartbreak;
Of how we contribute to others;
Of how deeply we love;
Of how easily we forgive.

It is the answers we give
To the questions God asks of us -
Not by our words,
But by our deeds,
And our depth of forgiveness.

We are never without
That inner voice
God has buried within each of us -
That voice that murmurs
A “Yes” or a “No.”

How we respond -
Determines our fate…..
