Pathway
of Pain
sent in by TLM4x4
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 search for
a hand to help and sustain?
If I walked without sorrow and lived without loss, would my soul
seek solace at the foot of the cross? If all I desired was mine
day by day, would I kneel before God and earnestly pray?
If God sent no winter to freeze me with fear, would I yearn for
the warmth of spring every year?
I ask myself these questions and the answer is plain, If my life
were pleasure and I never knew pain--I'd seek God less often and
need Him much less,
For God is sought more often in times of distress. And no one
knows God or sees Him as plain As those who have met Him on the
pathway of pain.
