Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow
We must fail in order to know
We must lose in order to gain
Some lessons are learned best only through pain
Sometimes our vision clears
Only after our eyes are washed with tears
Sometimes we have to be broken
so we can be tender
sick, so we can rest and think better
on things more important than work or fun
trip near death, so we can assess how we've run
Sometimes we have to suffer lack so we can know God's provision
Feel another's pain so we can have a sense of mission
So take heart my friend
If you don't understand today
Instead of grumbling ask God what he means to say
In order to learn, you must endure
And learn to see the bigger picture
In order to grow, you must stand
Look beyond the hurt to God's loving hand
That takes what is good, and gives what is best
And on this blessed thought, rest
As your anxious heart, with questions, waits
God's hand only gives what His loving heart dictates.
