CHRISTian poetry ~ by deborah ann

Jesus never promised,
life would be easy . .
nor things would be
carefree and breezy.
Instead He said we’d have,
tests and tribulation
while living in this world
we’d undergo frustration.
Jesus never promised,
life on earth would be just
nor how its wicked ways
on us wouldn’t be thrust.
Instead He said as we made,
our earthly journey here
to claim in Him our victory
and to be of good cheer.
Jesus never promised,
life would be untroubled
He said He’d give us peace
so not to be befuddled!
~~~~~~~~
These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.
