Through A Glass Darkly


There seems so little I can know

As on this darkened path I go.

The future looms, a fearsome thing,
Shapeless and dim. What it may bring

My spirit dares not contemplate.
Yet I, a child of God, may wait

Its coming with a lifted heart
And soul serene. My only part

To TRUST. I thank upon my knees
The wise and tender Lord who sees

My future clearly as my past,
And who will lead me home at last.

Martha Snell Nicholson

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
