Falling tears

'..Though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.' 1 Peter 1:6-7

I suffer grief today, I am sad Lord.You know my trial, you allow it and have brought it for Your good purpose. Help me to endure, help me not to fade away and to forget You. Keep me strong in those dark, agonising, painful and fustrating times. Keep me faithful to the truth I now know.

Is is easy to be angry and let my emotion control. It is easy to find solutions in the world around me, to get my 'quick-fix' of sin, but the sadness would remain.

Lord I will wait for You to change things. Lord I will cling to Your truth. I will be faithful and wait for Your promise. The day You lift my head, the day that faith, love, hope and compassion are recognised and fulfilled. On that day I will be content, forever with my God, clothed in white, known by name, loved beyond earthly love.
