God's Love

This one is not about gardening but does apply to life.

God's love is like an anchor
in a safe and secure harbor.
A haven where one is moored
through all life's difficult storms.

You'll find problems and troubles
sometimes render you unable
but God's love will remain secure
and will enable you to endure.

There's always something, it seems,
as difficulties come in teams
without answers or release
that disturbs our sense of peace.

Disappointments weigh us down.
Failures somehow increase and hound.
Rejections everywhere abound.
Sorrows deepen facial frowns.

We know constant worry and fear
are not sent from God each year.
The enemy of our souls appears
when we become weighed down with fear.

"In this world we will have troubles"
is found written in the Bible,
"but be of good cheer," does follow.
"Jesus has overcome" our sorrows.

Troubles coupled with the good times
helps to ease our changing mind
that God's love is a secure anchor
where we'll find a safe, peaceful harbor.

You see, life will ebb and flow
with much joy and many sorrows.
But God's love will remain the same -
unconditional - and will not wane.

Yes, God's love is like an anchor.
It's a safe and secure harbor.
No matter what happens today
be assured, God loves you always.

In the end life's many billows
and troubles in which we wallow
are meant to strengthen waning faith -
to grow in us believing faith.

One day our finite view
will cease wondering why.
God's love saw us through.
Our faith will sail free and fly.

Get on board the faith boat.
God's love will keep you afloat.
God's love is like an anchor -
unchanging and never falters.

In the world ye shall have tribulation
but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the world.
John 16:33 (KJV)

He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and He guided them to their desired haven.
Psalm 107:30

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure.
Hebrews 6:19
