Raindrops and Estate Sales
I don't know for certain if the following poem is true of God, but I suspect it is. I wonder if nothing pleases God more, than when we simply trust in Him?
"I Think That God is Proud"
I think that God is proud of those who bear a sorrow bravely ~ proud indeed of them who walk straight through the dark to find Him there and kneel in faith to touch His garment's hem.
Oh proud of them who lift their heads to shake away the tears from eyes that have grown dim, who tighten quivering lips and turn to take the only road they know leads to Him.
How proud He must be of them ~ He who knows all sorrow, and how hard grief is to bear! I think He sees them coming, and goes with outstretched arms and hands to meet them there, and with a look, a touch on hand or head, each finds his hurt heart strangely comforted.
"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." ~ Hebrews 11:6
