Our Father knows what\u2019s best for us, So why should we complain
\nWe always wants the sunshine, But He knows there must be rain<\/strong><\/p>\n

We love the sound of laughter, And the merriment of cheer,
\nBut our hearts would lose their tenderness, If we never shed a tear\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Father tests us often , With suffering and with sorrow, ( he allows it to happen , but he doesn’t test us in way that hurts us )
\nHe tests us, not to punish us, But to help us meet tomorrow\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

For growing trees are strengthened When they withstand the storm,
\nAnd the sharp cut of a chisel Gives the marble grace and form\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

God never hurts us needlessly, And He never wastes our pain
\nFor every loss is send to us, Is followed by rich gain\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

And when we count the blessings That God has so freely sent,
\nWe will find no cause for murmuring And no time to lament\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

For our Father loves His children, And to Him all things are plain,
\nSo He never sends us pleasure When the soul\u2019s deep need is pain\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

So whenever we are troubled, And when everything goes wrong, It is just God working in us To make our spirit strong<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
