Hope
is such an inconvenient
and painful and
inconclusive thing
that I can't help wishing I didn't have it.
But He says,
"I am the God
of all flesh.
Is anything
too difficult for Me?"
Well, no!
So, Lord --
in whose hand
are our hearts
like water-courses --
have Your sovereign,
impossible,
impeccable,
wholly loving,
possibly painful,
always glorious will
DONE!

Amen! May I not just think this or say it with my mouth but with all of my heart!
That is beautiful! Praise God for He alone is all-wise and all-powerful! It is comforting to know that this is the God in whom we trust!
It's true- God's will can sometimes be painful, but it is always glorious...even if we can't see it right away.
Thanks for a beautiful reminder, Elisabeth.
