A Stone

We are all like a stone being tossed by the waves
With every crash we're made a little more smooth
The Lord chooses our waves knowing what will shape us like Him
He never picks waves too big for us to withstand
He is right there beside us when they crash
To keep us strong
To hold us when the pain is too great
To remind us that He is God and we are not
And He sees the entire ocean, the end from the beginning
And someday the waves will cease then smooth stones we will be

I really like these thoughts.Is it a song? It is so good to know that the Lord in His lovingkindness shapes us as He knows is best. One day we shall be like Him and we will all be what He intended for us.

I am so encouraged by your sweet and quiet trust in God. Keep holding on to Him - He is faithful!

Actually I wrote this. I heard this concept once in a message and thought I'd write about it.
