Gods mysterious ways

sometimes
he surprises us with the ways unexpected
he sits us on a roller coaster and fills our hearts with that butterfly feeling
he lets us feel thrill and excitement
and in the instabilities of emotion in our lives
he shows us that WE're not in control but HE is

other times
out of our own fault he no longer holds our hands
hes fought hard enough and decides to save us by letting go
he lets us choose our own path
in which the end result is failure, disappointment, and captivity by our own selves
and in this state of weakness
God shows us that without him we cannot go on
without him we cannot go at all

when we get out of hand
he sets up invisible mirrors everywhere we go
and then we get so ashamed of the reflection
that we come to realization of how much mercy we need
and that's when we cherish Gods grace and forgiveness at our best ability

when we fall off course
and no longer have a destination
he puts roadblocks in our way so that we can no longer keep going
and have no choice but to turn around and go the direction of God
that's when he shows us that hes the only own

When our life is filled with sunshine and smiles
and God seeps through his blessings day by day
when our eyes are open to the beauty of life with God
he gives us room for growth through thankfulness
and he shows us that with him life is Good

Gods ways aren't always easy, his ways aren't always smooth
but as long as we realize that they are done out of love
we will always end up going his direction
and knowing that, is pure joy
because in the end
life without God is no life at all
