Behind my umptine sufferings, <br />I see God’s plan for me; <br />Behind Life’s crosses I carry, <br />I see God’s blessing me. <br /> <br />Behind world’s acts of treachery, <br />God’s Hand does protect me; <br />Behind each time of temptation, <br />God purifies my soul. <br /> <br />Behind my pangs of hunger felt, <br />God gives me satiety; <br />Behind my pangs of sex-urges, <br />God bestows piety. <br /> <br />Behind my many blunders made, <br />God gives me new foresight; <br />Behind my failures in my life, <br />I see how God saves me. <br /> <br />Behind my days of solitude, <br />God speaks in special ways; <br />Behind my every good deed done, <br />God lengthens my earth days, <br /> <br />Behind my times of ecstasy, <br />God cuts me down to size; <br />Behind my thoughts of fantasy, <br />God warns me of more vice. <br /> <br />Behind the veil of sins of mine, <br />God cautions me of hell; <br />Behind my acts of penitence, <br />God tells my soul is well! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 7-9-2000<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-6/
