Unbiased Truth

We are not kept in this world to be test run, Discarded and thrown away if considered unfit, We are not experimental beings kept in a controlled facility, Taken out of the system due to inherent unwanted flaws, We are not puppets pulled by strings, Dancing and acting to the dictates of their master, We are not hopeless beings kept in a troubled world, Though there are so many things beyond our view, There are so many things kept in the dark, He has not left us all by ourselves, He has not made and abandoned us, Fed up and wearied by our pitfalls, He walks with us still, He may not be visibly seen, Our day to day activities attest to His preeminence, He shuffles our day for us if invited, We retire to bed and switch off, Helpless and out of control, We sojourn in an unconceived world, He calls us back when the time is due, We don’t know why troubles are an integral part of human existence, We accept this with equanimity of mind, We don’t understand why life is a battlefield, With varying degrees of intensity, We hold on believing an end will soon come, Even though it might seem an endless road, It's a true saying that He can't allow on us more than we can bear, Though we might seem crushed by its weight, We still see ourselves going through each day, Living each day as it unwraps itself to us, We don’t know why some questions are unanswered, We don’t know why some mysteries can’t be unravelled, We see hope mirrored in His word.
