Financial difficulties, moving away from home, the death of a relative – these are all things that cause us to feel worried, lonely, and/or discouraged. Why does this happen?
Looking at all of these things, I see that we have no control over them (unless you are the person who is deciding to move the family). Also, in the cases of moving and losing a loved one, you miss someone and wish for that fellowship which you enjoyed so sweetly earlier to be renewed.
The following poem was written while I was wrestling with why I didn’t understand God’s perfect plan. I was wondering why difficult and painful things had to happen. The poem reflects the way I felt during that time of sadness and how I found peace in God’s flawless plan for my life.
Just a Piece
Why is this happening?
I don’t understand!
Things have gone wrong.
This shouldn’t have happened.
I can’t comprehend
All that has taken place.
What will this mean?
God, I need you
To get through
I can’t do this on my own.
Please show me, What to do.
To struggle through this
By myself
Would be painful.
Please show me Your plan
That I may do Your will.
“I have a plan for you,”
God says,
“But you have to trust me.
Because to you,
It might not make sense.
“You see, your life is a piece.
You have just a piece of my plan.
A piece in a plan for this world,
That is greater
Then you can imagine.
“Though this time in your life
May be painful and tough,
Remember that you have
Just a puzzle piece In my big picture.
Speak Your Mind
