Adversity

His purpose is cleansing
Like gold refined pure
That our lives, should reflect
His glory, yet more.

All is Made Whole

So our suffering and pain
Become stepping stones
Believe God has His purpose
To draw nearer, to His own.

Joy amidst Trials

Do count it all joy
When trials fall your way
For the testing of faith
Builds patience, each day.

The Blessings of Persecution

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.

Temptation

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

Taught by Trials

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

Sounds Strange!

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.

Satan Accuses- God Justifies

Satan came before God
In heaven to accuse
Not to worship, nor praise
But Job, to misuse.

Purpose in Pain

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

Purified by Fire

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.
