Even when it hurts

This walk You’ve destined for me,

May not be the easiest of things

But I’ve learnt not to always ask for the easy ones

Because true sweetness can only be savoured if bitterness is first cringed at

Thank You,

For the days when I feel alone,

Because that is how I’m reminded

Of the beauty of never being lonely 

When You choose to reside in my heart

Thank You,

For the pain and heartaches

Because only then do I get the salve of your compassion

When Your touch heals me where it hurts

Thank You

For the tricky slopes of life

The high cliffs and low valleys

Because only then do I get to experience

how awesome it is to have You fight my battles

Thank You

For loss no matter how insufferable at the moment

Because only then am I reminded

That eternity is not what my mortal mind conceives

But eternity,

Is the everlasting fabric of Your perfect design.

The grace of which You wish to clothe me in,

And the emblem of which I am to carry.
