[hometext] => This issue came up a lot in prior work with those who were suffering. What do you think?
[bodytext] => I know this to be true It's probably happened to you Perhaps something unforeseen Maybe even something mean Sometimes we ponder these things Trying to figure out what bad brings To figure out what went wrong Wanting our troubles to be gone Then we begin to wonder aloud Feelings evoked were not very proud Inevitably the question arose Why me Lord, do you suppose With that you heard the response to be Why not you, rather then he Should someone else take your place So that you have no unpleasantness to face Should there be no misery in the world Just peace and bliss unfurled Wouldn't this be Heaven on earth Which is my gift to you at your re-birth I don't purposely select you to suffer But it wouldn't be fair to others to buffer Learning to resist and to recover Is a means by which we discover I guess the answer my child Is everyone suffers for awhile No one is free from feeling some pain My Son Jesus did the same So pain is just part of life No one is exempt from strife I did not single you out Suffering is what life is all about Suffering is not punishment for being bad I do not seek you out to make you sad My only goal is to ease your pain For your salvation is my only aim [comments] => 3 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
