God’s Promise
God didn’t promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow or sun without rain.
But God did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and a light for the way.
And for all who believe in His kingdom above.
He answers their faith with everlasting love.
This is a short poem printed on my desk clock which has become a permanent fixture on my study table. A gift given to us sometime in the past by someone I don’t even remember who. But whoever that someone is, I thank him/her for this somehow gives me comfort everytime I come home depressed from a not so great performance on long exams, or when life in general seems to be too hard to understand.
