In all of our ups and our downs, beyond our smiles and our frowns, <br />Beyond each giggle and every pout, God is working something out, <br />Beyond our courage and our fears, the eternity God spoke of nears, <br />And the final up for those in Christ, shall be our entering Eternal Life. <br /> <br />Until then, through both me and you, God still has some work to do, <br />And we don’t know all that He does, as God works through all of us. <br />It’s during the many trials we face, in which God displays His Grace, <br />For many men still need to know, and some believers need to grow. <br /> <br />It was through Grace we received, that in The Truth we had believed, <br />When as sinners we would realize, as a veil was lifted from our eyes, <br />That God’s Love was available to us, when in Christ we put our trust, <br />So we didn’t have to live alone, and became one of God’s very own. <br /> <br />And some of God’s own today, are struggling along the narrow way, <br />So the guidance to us God will show, helps those believers to grow, <br />As God’s preparing all of His own, for the time He will take us Home, <br />Getting each heart prepared for, the soon return of our Blessed Lord. <br /> <br />As things happen within this life, we must stay fixed on Jesus Christ, <br />For The Lord God is still not done, drawing men unto Christ, His Son, <br />So believers continue to be a part, while The Spirit, God does impart, <br />Being in Christ, all we need to be, so others see, all they need to see. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©10/2009)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-ups-and-downs-2/
