Often I Have Wondered About Destiny Poem by Gert Strydom

Often I have wondered about destiny,
the thing that guards
that which is to be or not
and although God is omnipotent
I have realized that destiny
is not necessarily His will or His tool
and that we are living in a time of a savage war
between the forces of darkness
and those of good
that rages on
and I have realized that everything that hurts,
that destroys, that is full of pain and sin
comes from the side of evil darkness alone,
comes from somewhere where a caring living God is gone
and whenever trials and tribulations do come
there is already a way or an answer in place
in God's amazing grace
while the side of darkness
only turns a warm loving
and giving heart to stone.
