Analysis of Pain God Allows



The Bible never says that we
Will never feel a pain.
The ones our bodies feel can be
With us as they remain

An obvious reminder of
Unpleasant things in life
That God, with all His Holy love
Says He'll guide us through strife!

A lesson that is difficult
To keep inside our head,
Because life sometimes can result
In faith that's not well fed.
