This Too Shall Pass
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

I am not so clever but am learning lots...our small group started last Wed. am
...will quote assorted and many learned folks...
this author is unknown to me....
The Bible speaks to us primarily at two levels -- first, at the “plaintext,” or literal level, of meaning; and second, at the typological, or allegorical, level of meaning. The second level is very frequently, but not always, the more important level of meaning, especially in the Old Testament. Those who do not understand the types and word pictures of typology have never really "read" the Old Testament, for, when we do so, we see that Jesus is not merely predicted in a few literal-level prophecies here and there in the Old Testament; instead, the entire Old Testament is about Jesus and the Church He would establish with its sacraments. For example, in the story of Cain and Abel, we see Cain whose name means “weapon smith” killing Abel whose name, which means “meadow,” refers to his occupation as shepherd, and then Cain settles “in the land of Nod, east of Eden.” So, we have a story about how “Mr. Weapon Smith” kills the shepherd, and then, after killing the shepherd, “Mr. Weapon Smith” settles in the “east,” where dawn, the time of Christ’s resurrection, occurs. Genesis 4:1-16, Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1. So, we have a picture -- a “word picture” -- making use of the Dawn Type, of soldiers killing our shepherd, Christ, with the consequence that the killers begin living in “resurrection land,” the Church.
And, believe it or not, this is not the first typological, or allegorical, reference to Christ in the Bible.

Don't be deceived my beloved.
Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father.

Augustine (AD 354-430)
aptly described man's need for God this way: "You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you."

God loves us and provides for us.We all know that we cannot live without water. But while we need and use water, we must also watch that we do not slip beneath the surface. In the same way, we need the things of this material world, but we must exercise caution. God created earthly things for people to use. But we must not immerse ourselves in them or we will drown the breath of prayer and die.
