“Suffering is never wasted”
I heard that line today
Then a still small voice whispered
My ways are not your ways
My thoughts turned toward heaven
As I lifted you in prayer
What blessings are being poured out
That we are not aware?
The struggles of this battle
One you did not choose
May seem so overwhelming
As you fight so not to lose
But even in your suffering
God is standing by your side
He will show His glory
He will bless as well as guide
For when the trial is over
And the race has been run
You’ll have the chance to look back
And see all God has done
Our thoughts are not His thoughts
--oh, how I wish they were
To know the reason for the pain
And to know for sure…
…that suffering is not wasted
That good outweighs the bad
So even as we suffer
We can rejoice and be glad
