Blessed Are Those Who Comfort Poem by Tom Zart

God didn’t create the earth simply to be admired
But to be ideal for humankind and its glory.
His best blessing of all is still love itself
As our physical and emotional needs tell their story.

When our attempts to comfort are complete and genuine
Compassion flows from a caring, trusting heart of love.
We acknowledge the value of suffering and pain
As God lives within us not in outer space or above.

The Son of God came to earth to meet man’s need
For forgiveness, trust, hope, faith and liberation.
He suffered and died to provide God’s Divine grace
As His everlasting love gives comfort and salvation.
