All day today I have been thinking of a poem I shared while teaching Sunday School this morning and it has just given me so much encouragement that I had to share it with all of you.
It is by Annie Johnson Flint
God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through
God hath not promised sun without rain
joy without sorrow, peace without pain
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation trouble and woe
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide
swift easy travel needing no guide
Never a mountain rocky and steep
Never a river turbid and deep
But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the laborer, light for our way
Grace for the trials and help from above
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
