Soon enough


Soon enough, you’ll realize that the next stage is not far
And it becomes tough, compared to the present where you are.
Soon enough, the things you stand for may make you grieve
And leave you stranded, not knowing what to believe.
Soon enough, the love you see
Will be something you consider mockery.
And soon enough, things will change
And solutions may seem beyond your range.

Soon enough, you will see
That life, though a gift, can be tragedy.
Soon enough, what used to make sense
Will now make you ever so tense.
Soon enough, life’s greatest gifts
Can be forgotten when your brain drifts
Toward worry, enslavement and bondage
And that does nothing for you, but discourage.

Soon enough, the weather will be different
And you’ll notice it changed due to the emotion imminent.
It’s all in the mind, you’ll realize
And problems can and must be solved, no matter the size.
When you’re on solid rock, a firm foundation,
Soon enough, the solution will never be out-of-station.
So, let Jesus take your life, keep it for his use
Take this offer and his saving grace, don’t refuse.
Then soon enough you’ll know that everything had a purpose,
That despite the harshness, it’s only good that God does.
He gives the situation, lets you lean on him and believe
And makes you someone worthy to receive
In his kingdom, that’s heaven, as the common folk say
And till you die, he’ll protect you, from you he’ll never stray.
Sure, this life tends to overwhelm and turn out rough,
But Jesus is in control, realize that soon enough!

Wrote this a while back, and did not feel like posting it at all. However, now seemed perfect. Kinda like, saved up for a rainy day, to brighten up your rainy day.

    1. That's where your faith is tested. Things change, but they're always what you make of it. And who said God isn't willing to get you through it all? We need faith beyond us...that only God can give :)
