If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I'm a Healer? If you never went through difficulties, how would you know that I'm a Deliverer? If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an overcomer? If you never felt sadness, how would you know that I'm a Comforter? If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I'm forgiving? If you knew it all, how would you know that I will answer your questions? If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue? If you never were broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole? If you never had a problem, how would you know that I can solve them? If you never had any suffering, then how would you know what Jesus went through? If you never went through the fire, then how would you become pure? If I gave you all things, how would you appreciate them? If I never corrected you, how would you know that I love you? If you had all power, then how would you learn to depend on me? If your life was perfect, then what would you need Me for? THANK YOU, GOD! |

When you're feeling bad and your head is low Lift up your spirit and know That God has you in the palm of his hand To give you strength, so you'll stand When you think you've come to a dead-end And the barrier that's blocking you won't bend Know that God is all around you And Kick that barrier down in the wind When you know you just can't take anymore And failure seems to be knocking at your door Look to your front and back, to your left and right And know that God will take care of this fight When you think things are just impossible And all you want to do is scream and shout Know that all things are possible in Christ And He is your way out For He's Always There By: C. Fogle, Poetry Of Praise Book Collection |

My Personal Rainbow Lord, right now I struggle with clutching fear. Waves of agony pour over me As I face the darkest moments In my life's history. But my conviction still stands firm: You are my God! And though I cannot predict my future Or even tomorrow I am sustained by the reminder That the longest storm The world has ever known... And the worst... Came to an end one clear-sky morning. It was true for Noah It will be true for me. Though as yet I see no deliverance I watch I wait I expect My personal rainbow.
