The Will of God Will Never Take You, Where the Grace of God Cannot Keep You

The Will of God

The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you,
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the Spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Everything happens for a purpose. We may not see the wisdom of it all now, but trust and believe in God that everything is for the best.

It takes great faith to surrender all our worries, anxiety and control in life and put all our trust in God. During Advent, we are reminded like Mary to be not afraid. Although we are unsure of what our call will require of us in the next moment, tomorrow or the years to come, we are invited to follow Mary's example and say, "Yes!" to God. May God strengthen our trust so that we can be faithful servant to the world.

“Behold, I am the Handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word” (Lk. 1:38).
