The Will of God

The will of God, it hurts sometimes. 
Like the prick of a needle, like the 
stabbing of a knife. 
But it's a bearable pain... For my 
growing they say. 
God, please, take this pain away.
Be the salve that my weary heart 
needs to heal, make my brokenness 
complete and new. 
 I don't know the future... Maybe 
he's the one. 
Just make me the person you want 
me to become.
