Adversity and More!



There is a reason in this season,
And in the other three,
Why God allows bad things somehow
Preparing you and me.

We need to know it helps us grow
As Christian who must learn
The lessons God will never prod
But teach what we should yearn.

It's rarely fun, but when it's done
We should be thankful for
What Jesus said inside our head,
To grow in faith once more.
