Something Good Inside of Me

When something bad happens to me
I want to find the good in me.
I want to say good things to others,
Do good things, love all brothers.
I want to think good thoughts and know
That Jesus Christ will help me grow.
He works to make the bad to be
Something good inside of me.

Sand

Single grains of sand are
Formed from the omnipotent
Genius of God.
He breathes the winds over mountains.
He relentlessly discharges boulders
With stormy rains that
Fragment their earthy minerals
As they tumble down into
Streams and rivers
On their way to the sea.
In a dance of creation the ocean molds and polishes
Each tiny unique grain of sand
‘Til at last they are tossed upon the shore.

A mountain has been moved and changed by
Persistence
Force
And a divine plan.

Love
Begins in God and
Submits to change under
The will of the Almighty.

Real love, like tiny grains of sand
Reflects light
Receives warmth
Remains constant
But submits to change.
