| He Cradled Me In Kindness There are times when I think of all the heartache & pain I've endured while living this life. There were mountains to climb...valleys to crawl through and dark clouds of sorrow and strife. But my heart quickly causes me to give thanks that only God knows what will happen to me. For I couldn't have borne the knowledge of the future beyond what my eyes came to see. And I'm so grateful God allows me to know Him personally through the mercy and grace of the cross. For no matter the struggle, I knew my salvation was secure, because He paid the cost. My eyes fill with tears as I look at the years and all the things He's allowed me to go through. And I cry because I see the beauty of His presence always with me through all I would do. By faith, He truly taught me to live a day at a time and by faith, I held the might of His hand. While He poured out wisdom, and His promises were solid for every moment I would not understand. He cradled me in kindness...He spoke as my Father and I saw the richness of knowing His grace. He holds the future and He holds my hand so I'll trust Him while running this race. © Sheila Gosney 2005 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. JAMES 1:2-4 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire–may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7
