The Coin


This is not a poem, obviously, but is something I wrote a few years ago. I found it while looking for a poem, and thought it deserved to be shared. You're welcome.
 
Every bad thing that happens in your life is like a coin, two-sided. One side is what you see first, the circumstances that you are caught in. They look ugly. Satan is using them to trip you up and make you lose your confidence, your faith, and your love for God. You've got to flip the coin to see the other side, the beautiful side. On this side, you see that God is working in your life to bring you closer to Him. He is making you more obedient, more loving, more compassionate, and more childlike.

God and Satan work at the same time, using the exact same circumstances, but it remains your choice which side of the coin you look at.

Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5
