What If…

What if every moment

every struggle you go through,

what if it meant that it’s

really a blessing for you?

What if every heartache

every painful, dreary night,

meant that there was someone who

won’t leave you out of sight.

What if every struggle

every battle that you win,

makes you only stronger

than you have ever been.

What if every tear and all the

pain you ever feel,

gives you power and the courage

to break through the ordeal.

What if every challenge

that you ever faced was there,

to teach you that although

it felt easy to despair-

The challenge only made you

ever stronger than before,

and every time your heart is broken

it opens yet another door.

What if every rain that ever

fell down from the sky,

and every storm that battered

all that ever was inside-

Was meant to be there so that

a rainbow can be shown,

and when the sun shines bright again

you can see how much you’ve grown.

What if every journey

that you ever need to trail,

can show you just how much

he believes that you won’t fail.

What if every word you ever

voiced in desperation,

was the very thing that brought upon

your freedom and salvation?

What if I will tell you that it all

happens for a reason,

that God’s with you rain or shine

through every struggle and season.

What if you believe that

In order to succeed,

You need the storm and rain

for that little, tiny seed-

To grow into what it can

really, truly be!
