I Can't Tell You Why

a poem

I can’t tell you why
Things must happen the way they did,
Why this terrible pain
Must now break your heart.
I can’t tell you why
God is now silent as we speak,
Why He allowed such things
To happen to His child.

But I can tell you
How He loves you so,
And how He never changed
Through all these years.
I can tell you that
Though He seems so far
In truth He is with you
And never more so near.

So hold on through the shadows
And take heart through the night;
Someone watches over you
And cares for you tonight.
I can’t tell you why
He chose to be unseen
Or why He waits for tears to fall,
But it can never be
because He doesn’t care
For we know His love
Is the greatest of them all!

There are so many things we may not understand yet. But we learn to trust and wait upon our God. He is Love Himself. If He ever has a reason for allowing us to suffer, it could never be because of lack of love.

God only allows temporary evil so that He may accomplish a greater and eternal good.
