The veil is so thin

don’t waste

the suffering you’re in.

He is faithful,

God of the ages

from eternity past.

Immanuel is here,

and His Spirit everlast.

Your Father, Friend and King

will lead you

in the Way everlasting.

Heaven is but

a breath away;

and angels peek from

behind the curtain,

to see His will

is certain,

as earth plays out

Providence

in the Throne Room

of God’s confidence.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us un all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” -2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I am reminded of past saints who have suffered and used their circumstances to bless others. It does not mean they were super human, exempt from pain. They too experienced deep valleys. But through them, because they rested in Christ’s power to work in their weaknesses, those Christians can testify to God’s refining power from suffering. Amy Carmichael, Elisabeth Elliot, John Bunyan, William Carey, Gladys Aylward, Corrie ten Boom, Charles Spurgeon and Margaret Clarkson to name a few, withstood the fiery trials and the Lord beautified their faith as precious gold. These are the ones who have said God is enough in pain, let me tell you too so that your suffering is not for nothing.
