Your Ways

You remain incomprehensible,
unable to be understood
by simple minds,
by simple hearts.
We do not have a single clue
as to what may be going on
in our own lives
in our own hearts.
You find some way to teach us fools
through our own foolishness.
You find some way to shed some light
in this night we create.
The blind can see, the cripple walk.
They are us - as we are.
You use our flaws and failures,
our past wounds and mistakes
to lead us closer
to your perfection.
How twisted and ironic,
yet how comforting.
You use pain to heal,
break us to make us.
Put us in darkness so we can see
ever clearly in the light.
Yes it seems foolish,
almost ridiculous.
Your methods are beyond us
and your thoughts surpass all.
This is why I can still
find comfort in Your ways.

Amen.
