God Loves Me Enough
There’s no growth in beds of roses,
or strength in solid gold.
Perfection waits at Heaven’s gate,
For those whose journey’s told.
But here and now,
this road I’m on, is rocky underfoot,
teaching me to trust in Him,
that His love is always good.
As I navigate the turns
and hills and highs and lows,
and grip my faith for balance
underneath the weight of woes,
I remind myself the Lord above
has planned for me what’s best,
with every twist and stumble,
through His Grace, I am stretched.
Every chance for learning,
every truth revealed,
every burden carried,
I am further healed.
Every passage through a trial,
I am closer to His face,
I can lift my hands in worship
and sing my song of praise.
For every challenge I endure,
I am grown more whole,
For the God I love loves me enough,
To let me walk this rocky road.
I wrote this on December 2, 2011. I hadn’t penned a poem in quite some time. I remember being surprised at the inspiration because when I wrote this, life was pretty balanced. I wasn’t in a particular season of trials, though trials were no stranger to me. In His goodness however, God was getting me ready. He was reminding me of testimonies past, of endurance and strength and turning to Him in all things. He was preparing me for what would be by far, one of the deepest, most profound and spiritually healing journeys I’d ever traveled with Him. A true life-changer in fact, and a journey out of which Testimony Faith was born.
Amen, Lord. Amen.
