Getting Over Darkness

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

When everything seems cloudy
And your future isn’t bright
That’s when you might see Jesus
If you ask, he’ll give you light

In him there is no darkness!
He’s just waiting for the Day
That you will turn and seek him
And know everything is okay

    Knowing God as your personal Savior does not guarantee a rosy life here on earth !Us older Christians battle the daily fight of an ailing body, so intense , you ask for release ! But you must accept the bad with the good and be grateful for a life well lived in the Lord ! Pain, the last frontier and we can't conquer it ! Everything is not OK here but the future is OK !
