The Ultimate Test

He has a plan for all of us. 
He puts us through adverse situations, 
So we 
His children 
Can grow stronger,
Wiser.
These are His ultimate tests of life. 

The first exam could be His test of courage 
Midterm could be His test of strength 
The final could be His test of faith. 

Some may need to find the courage to love.
Others may need to find the strength to live. 
Several may need to find faith in themselves.

No matter how difficult the hardships of life are, 
Everything happens for a reason. 

He is the only One who knows where our fate lies. 
It is not for us to dictate nor decide.
He just wants us to love, 
Live, 
And just embrace the ride.
