Some Things
by Barbara Philbrook

Some things in this world are not to be changed but to be left alone,
and there are the things with which God let's us help where the need of our assistance is
shown.

Some things are here for us to simply enjoy,
and then there are things that God placed here so that as needed their use we could employ.

Some things are of such beauty that just a glimpse of them fills our heart with delight,
and there are some things God gave to us too intricate for our eye sight.

Some things were created so our curiosity  would persist,
and some things were put here as a temptation that with His help we could resist.

Some things are here because God knew one day there would be the need,
and then there are things here which people covet due to greed.

Some things are here simply for us to disburse to another,
things God intended that we share with a sister or brother.

Some things it's possible were meant for ourselves alone,
if this is the situation God will make it known.

God has never made a mistake everything He made has a purpose you see,
and when the time is right He will reveal what His intentions for all things happen to be.

If we live our lives completely in surrender to God's delight,
we can be secure in the assurance that we are doing what's right.

If the thing that means the very  most deep in our heart,
is that we do God's will as he's desired from the start.

Then the thing we can know and never ever have to doubt,
is that God is in control and He will work it all out.
