I'm no greater than my Saviour
and His suffering so topples mine.
Any way you slice it, God is kind.
If sin caused Him to suffer
it just must be well understood
that I must suffer, this is all good.
He took the thing full force
we get a drop or two;
and some of us are overdue.
We don't suffer with no purpose
all gold is to be refined.
Once the 'dross' is off, then it shines.
It's all in the spin of things.
It's the contrast of the night
that makes the day shine bright.

It is a comforting poem that we all need to remember sometimes, that He suffered for us and that he is always there for us. Well expressed and deserving of the trophy.

Gold it should Have been!
This says it all, Sis. What the majority fail to realize is that we, the sheep, suffer now for our past sins so that we will be taken up in the end; while everyone around us is falling dead by the brightness of His coming.
As you say, so I say: I'd far rather suffer now, knowing that I suffer for Jesus as well as my past sins, and knowing He suffered far worse than we.
Fantastic poem. It truly reveals God's Love in the understanding He has given you.
Much love & hugs, SisBon
