I love that. I believe that only good comes from God and problems are apart of this fallen world. This isn't heaven yet. I can't believe God decides to give you problems, but He does allow it. Maybe you were saying the same thing, just a matter of semantics.
I do like what this poem is saying, you just can't pray for God to vanish all bad things away from you, but He will give you the strength, grace, and patience to deal with it. Again, it is up to us to take those steps.
I first saw this poem on the fridge of relative of my husbands. Their daughter was bitten by a tick many years ago. Today she has the worst documentated case of Lyme's Disease in North America. She is in a wheelchair and cannot fully talk. Yet her mind is fully functioning. This family has not dwelled on this, but have found ways to empower her in every way possible. I 've never seen anyone deal with a tradegy so well in my life, it's truly inspiring.
Thanks for posting this. It's a great reminder to us all.
