Good News Poem by Gert Strydom

When I was a child
I went with thousands of people,
to listen to a great preacher
and today his words still stand:

“Good news
I have good news.
The good news is,
that God loves you.”

“He has a plan for your life
and there’s a purpose for living.
Don’t give up.
Don’t let the headlines
threaten you.”

“God is still sovereign.
He’s still on the throne
and those that follows and serves Him
has a future,
brighter than tomorrow.”

*

Still I keep my eyes on Him
and although my world staggers around me
and at times I do not know
where to find light
in the darkness,
I know that He is still near.

The years pass so quickly
that life is almost
like a dream
and sometimes I do not know
why things happen,
but still I trust
in the almighty God
and that His light will come in time
and I wait on His plan
to unfold for me.
