Unexpected Love

2 Corinthians 4:17 — For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Each day

is a battle -

a mountain

to climb,

a storm

to press through.

In the morning

I long for You

with trembling hands;

in the evening

I sigh for You

with heavy eyes.

Because I have wept

innumerable tears,

now I know You.

Because I have lost

countless comforts,

now I walk with You.

Because I have hurt

so deeply,

I yearn for You

endlessly.

Because I have

suffered,

I love You, Father.

Amen.
