Poem - Our Lives are Like Stories

Our lives are like stories acted out in a play.

Yet at times those stories get jumbled in some way.

Maybe we read the wrong script or misread how it goes,

And then find ourselves caught in the middle of life’s throws.

To him that overcomes is victory living.

Our strength comes from God and He keeps on giving.

No man can go down where God cannot go,

And God is a jealous God, His love He will show.

If we miss out on the best, that’s not the end to our story.

All things work together for the good to God’s glory.

He came to give us life and life abundantly.

It’s a joy-filled life He’s given both you and me.

He knows we’ll get hurt and experience life’s stings,

So He reminds us not to focus on these things.

But to focus on Him is life evermore,

And He’ll bring us to that glorious shore.

The story is not over, it’s just begun.

The race is not finished till the crown is won!
