The Flow of Life

 

This day was filled with sweet blessings,
And lots of pain mixed in.
I struggled to escape the flow,
But that fight I can’t win.
 
The ebb and flow of life is both
Pain filled and a delight.
We must withstand both streams of joy,
And loss we can’t make right.
 
Life flows on by us at its pace,
There’s no dam we can build
That will hold back one drop of it.
We simply aren’t that skilled.
 
Yet we can hold on through it all,
As this life runs its course,
By lifting up our pleas and praise
To Him who is life’s source.
 
Though life’s river flows through this world,
It spills out from the throne
Of Him who gave His life for us
And still calls us His own.  
 
Revelation 22:1
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
