Logic has no answers <br />For such inequality- <br />Why do good men suffer? <br />Just a painful reality. <br /> <br />The righteous suffer so, <br />While the bad remain untouched, <br />The reasons we don't know <br />Why we suffer things so much. <br /> <br />To put my mind at ease, <br />In my prayer He gave me <br />A glimpse of His masterpiece <br />A purpose there to see. <br /> <br />'Pain will purify thee <br />With water of Affliction, <br />And the bread of Adversity, <br />Will teach you life's direction. <br /> <br />These came with the fall of man <br />But they prune you for the best, <br />Just trust with all you can <br />And you'll soon pass the test. <br /> <br />All your dross will be removed <br />When you pass the Refiner's Fire, <br />And your goodness will be proved <br />For My Will you will desire.' <br /> <br />When I pass the fire I suffer <br />But He is in the furnace with me <br />And I love Him more than ever, <br />Love as gold as eternity. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />-------------------- <br />'....but we also rejoice in our sufferings, <br />because we know that suffering produces perseverance; <br />perseverance, character; and character, hope.' <br /> <br />Romans 5: 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright Cynthia Buhain-Baello <br />April 19,2009 <br />Philippines<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/refiner-s-fire-2/
