There comes a time when the suffering comes to end--
There is a time when the prayer is heard,
And the prayer is finally answered.
When the pleas go deeper than words from the mouth,
And thoughts from the mind, and feelings from the heart--
When the pleas come from the crying of the soul,
Then they are in their purest and most sincere form:
Only then had one reached the lowest point.
And when at this lowest point,
When there is no further one can go--
when one is at their most humble, and most vulnerable,
Then God will take notice.
It is not an act of cruelty,
But rather a test of one's resolve and conviction,
And to see how badly one longs for their desires,
And to see what one will do and how far one will go...
And when the suffering is so great that God notices,
With a tear in HIS eye, that mercy is shown, and the burden lifted--
And when this happens, it is a time for praise, a time for rejoycing,
As the lowest point becomes the turning point...
A time for the soul to cry in thanks and gratitude,
In an attempt to repay that which is unpayable,
As nothing can repay the love and grace of Our Lord.
