WHEN GOD TAKES AWAY

Marvin Marcelino
 

God took away my shallow happiness


and substitute it with heavenly joy.
 
God took away my egotistic ambitions
and transform it with a other-centered mission.
 
God took away my short-sighted dreams
and exchange it with far reaching visions.
 
God took away my earthly wealth
and supersede it with heavenly treasures.
 
God took away my limited intelligence
and upgrade it with divine wisdom.
 
God took away my worldly wants
and convert it with His will.
 
God took away my hostile aggressiveness
and change it with enduring patience.
 
God took away my insisting selfishness
and succeed it with selfless love.
 
God took away my stubborn pride
and replace it with utmost humility.
 
God took away my foolish failings
and restore it with second opportunities.
 
God took away my hideous sins
and barter it with free salvation.
 
God took away my unpleasant fears
and replace it with cheerful hope.
 
God took away my chilly hopelessness
and swap it with fire-tested faith.
 
God took away my frightful death
and trade it with eternal life.
 
When God takes away, from Him the best is come.
