Thought for the day

[Guest guest]

If my days were untroubled

and my heart always light,

Would I seek that fair land

where there is no night?

If I never grew weary

with the weight of my load,

Would I search for God's peace

at the end of the road?

If I never knew sickness and never felt pain,

Would I reach for a hand to help and sustain?

I ask myself this and the answer is plain ---

If my life were all pleasure

and I never knew pain, I'd seek God less often

and need Him much less,

For God's sought more often

in times of distress.
