When Adversity Comes Your Way
I often hear discussions
about diversity…
Very seldom do I hear people
talk about adversity.
I’m talking about what to do when
“the chips are down.”
When someone’s lonely…
And, “there’s not a friend to be found.
I’m thinking about the heart
growing “weary and sad.”
When someone has lost
“everything they had…”
As so many have sought,
“The American dream…”
They wake up one morning
and have “lost everything.”
What does one do in a situation like this?
When everything seems to be
“one big mess?”
There’s one who can bring hope
to a desperate situation.
All he needs is a “heart-felt invitation!”
His name is Jesus! And he really
wants you to know…
He can speak peace to your life…
And make you whole!
Though many things in your life
may have been taken.
With Christ on board…
You’re never left or forsaken!
Lay your every burden
and worry at his feet.
Only he can restore you and
make your life complete!
