A Hymn of God's Words Bitterness Is God's Blessing

A Hymn of God's Words Bitterness Is God's Blessing 

I

 Do not be discouraged. Do not be weak. God will reveal everything to you. The road to the kingdom is not that smooth. Blessings won't be gained easily. Everyone will endure bitter trials and hardships, or your love to God won't be stronger. But don't you worry, instead take more time before God. Do not care about what to eat and what to wear. Seek more of God's will and He will reveal. Step by step, you will know His heart in all the matters in which you deal.

II 

You all think that blessings mean lucky words, not bitterness. He who shares in God's bitterness also shares in the sweet. This is God's promise and His blessing. Give up everything, protect God's testimony. That should be your goal. But now you lack faith and ways to discern. You aren't clear about God's word and will. But don't you worry, instead take more time before God. Do not care about what to eat and what to wear. Seek more of God's will and He will reveal. Step by step, you will know His heart in all the matters in which you deal. 

III 

Circumstances, even they are minor, everyone needs to get past. Circumstances are God's blessings. How many of you have often knelt before God and asked for His blessings? So don't you worry, instead take more time before God. Do not care about what to eat and what to wear. Seek more of God's will and He will reveal. Step by step, you will know His heart in all the matters in which you deal. And God will have a way to walk in each and every one of you. Nothing can stop Him. His heart is pleased. He will bless you forever and ever.
