Dear Ellie
My heart goes out to you and your parents because I understand what you're going through only too well, having had first hand experience of it, please allow me to share just another piece of treasured memory which my dear wife and I share exclusively until now when I feel I should share it with other hurting children of God. It is a little poem that we found some years ago and treasured, because it literally spoke to us.
I suffered weakness and O such awful pain,
Also with them came sorrow and trial too.
And truly they were so very hard to bear;
But they didn’t last….they passed away.
‘Cause He measured ….and brought me through.
Yes, indeed it was very hard to bear, ‘tis true.
But not a moment too long did they remain,
Then toward the end at near to breaking point
He gave of His mighty Spiritual strength.
Then He measured….and brought me through.
Though blind I was with an urgent need to see,
Then in a wonderful way He revealed Himself
In a way, to me, so completely and entirely new,
That as Almighty God I began to know Him then.
He begins to measure…...and bring me through.
Always like this is our precious loving Lord
Regardless of whether our trials be many or few.
He sees through our weakness, pain and anxiety.
By timing them all….by His appointed time,
Then He measures…..and brings you through.
So child of God, please listen, there will be an end,
Stop unnecessarily worrying over what might be.
Just trust in Him for His promised Word is true,
Be patient and wait, for in His own good time
He’ll begin to measure….and bring you through.

God bless you sister and your family in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.
