Where is God?

3 Feb

Where is God

when a loved one dies,

when grief overwhelms,

tears fall from our eyes?

***

Where is He

when a spouse departs,

taking with them

a piece of your heart?

***

Does God turn His back

when your child strays?

Does He cover His ears,

when you kneel down to pray?

***

No, God never leaves,

Nor does He turn away.

No matter what comes,

by your side He will stay.

***

Nothing can ever

separate us from His love,

no power on earth

or in sky up above.

***

He’s with us in trial,

death or despair,

hunger, persecution,

calamity or care.

***

Not even the powers of hell

can tear us apart.

He’ll never leave you.

He’ll never depart.

***

So, when next trials come

or loved ones depart,

when tears fall like rain

on your poor, broken heart…

***

Don’t ask where God is

or think you’re alone.

Don’t murmur, complain,

cry out or moan.

***

Instead, trust in God,

put faith in His care.

No matter what comes,

He’ll always be there.
