Truth Or Circumstance

Though Circumstances in Life May...
Change my plans
Tire my body
Limit my finances
Challenge my fortitude
Increase my heartache 
and Overflow my tears

They Will Not...
Define my character
Consume my thoughts
Mislead my direction
Steal my joy
Diminish my hope
or Break my spirit

God Will Use Them To...
Strengthen my faith
Anchor my emotions
Multiply my prayers 
Transform my character 
Prove His sufficiency 
and Reflect His glory

In Their Midst, I Will...
Remember His promises
Obey His commands
Rely on His strength 
Seek His will
Continue in service 
and Discover His peace.
