Joy In Adversity

 

Life is hard, that’s what we’re told

Let me explain, to be so bold.

Those that shy away from pain

Will never grow and that’s a shame.


Hard work brings the greatest joy

Much more than the world’s best toy.

Why is that, you may sometimes ask

Because rewards come from the task.


Think about your daily life

All your trouble and your strife.

Overcoming all these things

Will bring you joy, enough to sing.


Muscles when exercised do tear

And become stronger in repair.

Our lives are filled with searing pain

And pushing through, joy we’ll gain.


Jesus Christ is the perfect role

Of who to follow with our soul.

His sacrifice for each of us

Helps us repent and that’s a plus.


Life was never meant to be

An easy path for you and me.

God has a plan for each dear child

Just trust Him, and be not beguiled.


When all this life comes to an end

We’ll understand why God can’t bend.

He has so much to teach us now

We must put hands to the plow.


Harvest time is coming soon

And joy will be the winning tune.

Your dedication to God’s way

Ensures eternal life’s your pay!
