Mercy and Grace

II Corinthians 4:15-18

Everything is for your sake by God's grace,
And always there no matter what you face;
An abundant grace from the Glory of God,
Of His mercy we faint not in being flawed;
Even though our outer shell shall perish,
Our inner soul renewed for God to cherish;
For light afflictions last merely a moment,
While mercy and grace of God is abundant;
We only look at the obvious that is seen,
Never could how things might have been;
For the things that we see are temporal,
While things we can not see are eternal.
Those who do not believe tend to be blind,
Only seeing worldly things in their mind;
A divine vision for those that have belief,
Filling a heart of joy and curbs your grief;
Your heart opens as you open your eyes,
In seeing the glory of the Heavenly skies;
By His grace He will show you His mercy,
Be showered by His blessings abundantly.
