Bigger problems—greater joy

CARL J. WELZ

Does a mountain climber complain
because the cliff is steep,
the peak too high?
Or does he love the challenge
and seek the steeper higher ways?

If we love Truth,
do we complain when problems increase,
or do we demand more of our faith,
our trust, our authority to do
what demonstrates the real,
and love each day
the opportunities that come—
rejoice that we are found
worthy to take on bigger ones?
