“Why?”

You’re helping me to understand ‘pain’… and how to work through it…

That I might more easily relate and care for other people’s struggles

while learning to think of myself less...

and, that I may also experience joy more fully…

and share in that with those around me.

You’re teaching me how to let go…

for I hadn’t yet learn how to ‘lose.’

You’re teaching me how to find strength & peace in You…

because life’s chaoses will never cease.

You’re building my hope and faith…

both of which didn’t exist before.

You’re taking care of what’s not mine to have…

& taking me where Your will and work needs to be done.

There are already many answers to the question “why?”
