God is still present

* Luís Alberto Alves

When the dream falls apart,
God rebuilds.
When the forces are exhausted,
God renews.
When it is inevitable to hold back the tears,
God gives joy.
When there is no love,
God gives birth.

When the curse is right,
God turns into a blessing.
When it seems to be the end,
God gives a new beginning.
When affliction wants to persist,
God surrounds us in peace.
When the disease plagues,
God is the one who heals.
When the impossible rises,
God makes it possible.

When words are missing,
God knows what we mean.
When you say: I can not,
God says: Fear not, for I am with you.
When the heart is hurt by someone,
God is the one who sheds the healing balm.
When there are no possibilities, God performs miracles.
When we fall into a deep abyss,
God reaches out and takes us out of there.
When all is pain, God gives the refreshing.
When the heat of the ordeal is great,
God gives the shadow of his presence.
When there is no more faith, God says: Believe !!
