Whom God Chooseth

When I think of my history....all that God has done in my life....I cant take it all in.  There have been trials, problems, mistakes, heart breaking times that He has used to shape me into more of what He wants.  So often i am stubborn, but He still has a plan and works in my life.  And he will work in yours.  God cares about you too much to leave you alone.  

I found this poem at one of those times when I was broken and didnt understand that God was trying to work in me.....

Whom God Chooseth

by Alfred Flemington

When God wants to drill a man,

And thrill a man,

And skill a man,

When God wants to mold a man

To play the noblest part;

When He yearns with all His heart

To create so great and bold a man

That all the world shall be amazed,

Watch His methods, watch His ways;

How He ruthlessly perfects

Whom He royally elects;

How He hammers him and hurts him,

And with mighty blows converts him

Into trial shapes of clay which

Only God understands;

While his tortured heart is crying

And he lifts beseeching hands;

How He bends but never breaks

When His good He undertakes;

How He uses whom He chooses,

And with every purpose fuses him;

By every act induces him

To try His splendor out—

God knows what He's about.
