The Bend in the Road

John 16:33 

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.”

Helen Steiner Rice

Sometimes we come to life's crossroads

 And we view what we think is the end.

But God has a much wider vision

And he knows that it's only a bend-

The road will go on and get smoother

And after we've stopped for a rest,

The path that lies hidden beyond us Is often the path that is best.

So, rest and relax and grow stronger,

Let go and let God share your load And have faith in a brighter tomorrow-

You've just come to a bend in the road.
