NOTHING BY HAPPENSTANCE

Sequence of time

Not my own.

Belongs to God

To Him alone.

A plan in motion

There is no chance,

Or accident,

Or happenstance.

Even sorrow

Or tragic events

God will use

Going forward hence.

He’ll take the sad

And turn to good.

And every step

With us He’s stood.

What was taken

Is returned

With abundant love

Though unearned.

God takes the bad

And fashions grace,

He takes the heartache,

Puts a smile in place.

Regardless the circumstance

In our heart God lives.

He changes the negative

As new life He gives.

He takes the ashes

Of past trials

And fashions beauty

For future miles.

Even when circumstances seem against you, remember that God has a plan and that He will use what has happened in our past to create beauty for our future.  Sometimes a disappointment is just a way of God opening doors for better things to happen around the corner. wkm

Thank You God for this lovely day.

Thank You for placing a song in my heart.

Thank You for giving me strength for every day.

Good night and God bless you.
