From My Heart
Louise Gibson
;
We all harbor secrets
(facts set apart)
But I am compelled to share my secret –
It is a grateful heart.
Life presents many challenges –
We agree that this is true.
From birth to the grave circumstances change
And so does our point of view.
I am family oriented.
It was so important to me.
To raise and nurture children with love –
Became my top priority.
It took the death of my first born son
To draw my eyes to the cross.
The Lord didn’t do it to be mean –
Rather, He put meaning to my loss.
God didn’t ask us to understand him.
He only said, “trust and obey.”
I am so grateful for His promises.
He is “the truth, the light, the way.”
Footnote:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you” says the Lord.
“Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a Future and a Hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11 World English Bible

I enjoyed this poem. So many times we want to understand why, when trust is what will set our minds and hearts to rest.
