Adversity, Hardships, Love & Deliverance Poem by Tom Zart

God may place us in deep waters
But He doesn't wish us to drown.
Adversity shows us ourselves
As to others we smile or frown.

There's no better teacher in life
Than the troubles which come our way.
Adversity strengthens our minds
As we think what to do and say.

Constant success shows but one side
Of the world we find ourselves in.
Adversity teaches us all
That people love, hate, lust and sin.

Adversity and its hardships bring us closer to Jesus
When God is the source of our every need
When we count on God and trust His will
We are able to overcome foulness, temptation and greed.

Our happiness helps prolong our life
Though most human joys are swift of wing.
Heaven allots how much we'll have
As of love and deliverance we sing.
