A Guarantee
©copyright 2004 Bonita M Quesinberry
How can I get through all these trials,
each one a stab of pain?
Then, my Lord says quite tenderly,
"You only stand to gain."
But, how do I deal with their lies,
and putting You to shame?
"Speaking my Truth," He said to me,
"Heaven you stand to gain."
Alas, they turn to me deaf ears,
spewing hatred of You.
"I never said they would believe:
there be only a few."
Still, I show them Your awesome Word;
they, denying it's true.
"But," He kindly reminded me,
"The years left are so few."
I fervently write all You say;
then they cry, "Blasphemy!"
"That is to their loss," He whispered,
"to you, a guarantee."
If I hold fast amidst their shame,
life for eternity?
His gentle kiss upon my brow,
"To you, a guarantee."
