Poetry: Gift Inside

Problems never seem to arrive nicely packaged,Delivered,Dealt with.No. They arrive in groupsDelivered like blows--That flow--one after the other.If there were a way toLeave them unopened,I would…Often not an option.But I foundOne sound solution…Hand each package off to Jesus.Let himHelp handleThe unwanted,Not so desirable “Gift inside”And abide in Him.These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33By Carolyn R ScheidiesRead more like this in Journey of FaithPrint and Kindle versions
