Rainbow

April 19, 2010 by Guest Author 6 Comments

The clouds disappeared in the early dawn

And now the rain is finally gone.

The darkest night was there before,

I did not think I could take any more.

People move on and leave you behind,

Oh how people can be so unkind.

The sun is finally breaking the dark of night,

Perhaps now I can end this fight.

I could not see in the midst of my pain

That to wash it away, God sent the rain.

Now that I’ve made it through the darkest time,

A rainbow stands in the sky, sublime.

It reminds of the thousands of promises kept,

By God, who I didn’t trust enough, but instead wept.

Over and over He’s proven Himself,

Why then did I shove my faith on a shelf?

His promises are the only ones consistently fulfilled,

I need to allow my doubts to be completely killed.

As the saying goes, “It is always darkest before the dawn.”

Let us finish it by saying, “Child, trust on!”

    Thank you all so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! God is so gracious and teaches me so much through life experiences (much more often through the hard times, as you all are aware, I’m sure) and I enjoy expressing things through poetry. I believe God’s goodness and poetry go hand in hand nicely. 🙂

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
