hope ever!

i liked this little poem from an old devotional book i have, the author is unknown.

"The sun will shine and the clouds will lift,
The snow will melt though high it drift;
Across the ocean there is a shore,
Must we learn the lesson o'er and o'er?
To know there is sun when clouds droop low,
To believe in the violet under the snow,
To watch at the bows for the land that shall rise,-
This is victory in disguise."

and the accompanying verse...

Jesus answered him and said, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." John 13:7

Rejoice and hope ever in what the Lord is doing! Look at your problems through the Father's eyes and see that He is bringing great treasure forth as you solve problems through His wisdom and discernment. Be blessed and rejoice, do not complain and turn back! Be blessed as you trust from the hand of God alone and search out His wisdom. Be a trail blazer, not someone who turns back when the road isn't always paved with happiness. Be blessed with His joy!

much love,
