I know...

I know there are times of darkness on this journey.

I know there are times when evil seems to thrive.

I know there are times when pain and sorrow abound.

I know there are times we wonder if hope is alive.

I know there is confusion in a place we once thought safe. 

I know there are hearts heavy with loss and fear.  

I know there are many questions without answers.

I know there is Someone Who sees each tear.

I know there is trouble, just as He said there would be.

I know He sees us seeking ways to cope.

I know He is aware of our desire to heal...

I know He is our one and only hope.

I know each day is a precious gift from Him.

Yet I know so little about this path to trod.

But I know that whatever happens as my days unfold,

It will be worth it...when I finally see the face of God.<3~thl
