𓍯𓂃𓏧♡ Built to Bear

 

No trial comes that’s mine alone,
Each burden borne by flesh and bone.
The path I tread, though steep and long,
Is walked by many, just as strong.

Yet in the storm, I lift my eyes—
A faithful God, forever wise.
He guards the edge I cannot cross,
And meets me kindly when I’m tossed. 

Temptation’s voice may press me near,
But never more than I can bear.
And when its shadow draws too wide,
He shows a way I may abide.

So in my heart, I hold His hand—
A steady guide, a place to stand.
Though trials come, I will endure,
For with His strength, I stand secure.

—reflections from 1 Corinthians 10:13
