Tests of Life

The Lord blesses you,
If you do not quit;
By remaining true,
You will inherit.

Keep trusting the Lord,
When tested with strife;
You will see His reward,
In a splendid life.

If you do love Him,
Never give Him blame;
To why you feel grim,
Nor misuse His name.

No evil in God,
Tempting you to sin;
Only in being flawed,
Corrupts you within.

What comes down is good,
As blest in Heaven;
Doing as you should,
A perfect gift given.
