Pure Gold

Uncertain situations and 'bad' circumstances in life make us stronger. They press in on us from all sides and conform us into the image of Jesus Christ. It may be unpleasant and hurtful at times- but it's just the potter's hand molding the clay [us]. In Isaiah 64:8 it says: "You, LORD, are our Father. We are nothing but clay, but you are the potter who molded us." We have to allow God to make and mold us. We do not have all the answers because His ways are always higher than ours [Isa 55:8-9 CEV "The LORD says: "My thoughts and my ways are not like yours. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours."]. Yes, we can question God, but we must always remember- Father God knows best!

Pure Gold

There are many nights I wonder
if I will ever make it through;
if I will ever see the Son again,
if I will ever smile again...?

Will I always see the rain?
Will I always see this pain?
Will it ever get better-
will it ever...?

As the tears roll down my face
and I call upon Your name-
again and again-
until I lose all my strength...

Unanswered questions in my heart,
tearing my faith in You apart
I lift up my arms to You
surrendering all...

Not only do I give my heart
but the pain and hurt,
the fears and confusion-
I lay them at your feet

I can't hold this burden much longer,
it's much too heavy for these arms;
I must take your yoke and burden
and walk this road I'm on...

It may be straight and narrow,
but I fear the other way;
I must accept this journey
and take it day by day...

Experiences with You
have given me peace,
knowing You have directed
the direction of my feet...

Now I must walk accordingly,
the way I take You know;
and when this trip is over
I'll come out as pure gold...
