Thank
You Lord
For
helping me to see
That
I’m viewing this tapestry called life
From
the back side
That
which appears
Nothing
more than a tangled mess of threads
Ugly,
random and without purpose
Looks
much different from the other side
There
is a day coming
When
I will view this tapestry
From
Your side
From
God’s perspective
It
is then I will see purpose and meaning
In
trials and tribulation
I
will comprehend that which I could not see
This
side of heaven
What
seems like justice delayed
Is
not justice denied
All
Your accounts are not settled
Here
on earth
You
are patient, merciful and compassionate
To
the ungodly and unrighteous
You
desire for all to come to repentance
That
no one would perish
Those
who have been declared righteous
Through
Christ’s sacrifice on the cross
One
day their pain will cease
Their
suffering will be redeemed
It
is not so with the ungodly and unrighteous
Those
who reject Christ’s perfect sacrifice for sin
For
they will give an account to God
To
the One who is holy, righteous and just
One
day I will see
How
You perfectly wove the dark threads
Along
with the bright and beautiful colors
In
this tapestry called life

Yesterday
morning I wanted to participate in Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday writingchallenge. After writing, I had to head
out the door for a busy day after a long week.
But I still wanted to post something for this week’s submission. If you would like to try your hand at the
five minute challenge, head over to her website “Lisa Jo Baker Tales from aGypsy Mama”. Be sure to read some of the
entries from other writers. I can
promise you that you will be blessed.
