PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Unrefined, I am near-worthless,

but life’s flames melt away the impurities,

leaving only the pure gold of my soul.

If purity is truly my goal,

then I shall rejoice in my infirmities.



I shall rejoice in my infirmities,

for in my weakness I find Thy strength.

Suffering increases faith, and builds patience.

I shall not be depressed by the length

of time I shall go on suffering, since



I know that You are always with me

My heart, Thy Spirit shall console

with the knowledge that life’s flames melt away the impurities,

leaving only the pure gold of my soul.

Rejecting the devil’s many false remedies,



I trust only in You.

My heart, Thy Spirit shall console

as suffering works to increase my faith and build patience

within my feeble soul.

So, I shall rejoice in my infirmities.
