And God Said


I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed." And God said, "That is why I gave you sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, "I saw my Son nailed to the cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now." And God said, "Mine is on my right and yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts." And God said, "I know."

Comforting and sad all at the same time. Yes it hurts but through it God is there. At this time I wouldn't really want God to take my pain away. Sounds strange I know but it's true.
