While in the valley; gaze up at the mountain. While you are confused; know the answers lie ahead. While you are in pain; know you are being refined into something stronger. While you are tired; know that rest is guaranteed for the weary. While you are alone; know that someone greater is with you. While you ache with sorrow; know that a season of joy is coming. While you mourn; know that comfort is in store. While in the darkness; look for the light. While things seem hopeless; remember His promise. God Hath Not Promised God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through. God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the laborer, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love. By Annie Johnson Flint (The words were actually written for a song created at the turn of the century by William Runyan.) |
