Conversations with God

I asked "Oh God take this pain away."
He answered me with "But my child what would you learn?"

I replied "But Lord my heart cant take the hurt."
Gently he whispered "I wouldnt have allowed this pain if I didnt think you could handle it."

As the days passed and the months flew by,
I began to notice I was getting stronger.

There were days when I would scream "Oh God just let it be over!"
He would patiently answer "You have to be ready to allow this challenge to teach you before it can be at an end."

Eventually I could see a change,
But the scars were left in tact as a reminder.

God never left me,
I just couldnt see him.

When my heart grew warm,
It was then I knew he had been there all along.

"My daughter you see now it is all in my plan to have you learn from pain.
But its a lesson we all choose to take." God told me in a prayer.

Taking my pain would have ensured its return,
But allowing my hurt taught me so much more.

Wisdom I can not quite fathom,
Love I will never understand.

But God knew it was going to work out,
Just the way he had planned.
