Glorious Tribulations
How Christ helps us hear the music in the middle of the storm
This week’s poem is incredibly poignant for me, but I don’t have much exposition to give you all. I’d rather let her speak for herself.
Hehe. Sorry not sorry. It’s a sweetie poem I promise. It was inspired by Romans 5:3:
“3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;”
Enjoy! And happy first week of classes to all those who celebrate!
We glory in tribulations. There's power in that phrase. How do we take control of our tribulations? We give up control. And we give that control to God. We trust in the faith that we have, knowing that God always fulfills His promises. And then, in the midst of that very trial, The music begins. Slow, soft, melancholy at first. But as we recognize the melody, that song of redeeming love, It fills our souls. And in the middle of the tempest, standing in the pouring rain, We smile. We laugh. And we begin to dance. The rain continues to fall harder and harder, the lightning flashes and the thunder roars, but we are too busy glorifying God to notice. We are free. We are filled with Him. And forevermore, we will glory, we will rejoice, and we will thank our Savior and our Redeemer for our afflictions. "Yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord." -Mosiah 24:15
Love you all, my dear friends. Have a beautiful week.
Live Laugh Love.
