Poem: “Bitter to Better” by Reynold Adjei

BITTER TO BETTER

Life is a mixture of good and bad.
How can you have gray if you don’t mix white and black??
How can the sun shine if the clouds don’t empty themselves of rain??

There are days that are dark and Nights that are ghastly,
Moments that are overwhelming and
Make you feel you’re the most miserable person on Earth.

There are seasons that are gloomy, and these seasons can linger on for what seems like eternity and even threaten your sanity.
This life can really be cruel sometimes.

But it’s a fallen world and no one is exempted from their Marah experience. Till Christ appears or we cross over to the other side, we’ll all have our fair share of bitter experiences.

Even so, there are brighter days after these terrible episodes.
There are memorable times that leave lasting impressions on our minds.

All things work together for our good and as beautiful as the Creator is, He uses the good, the bad and the ugly to birth masterpieces to showcase His glory.

So hold on my brother, hold on my sister. Someday when our situation turns from bitter to better, we’ll look back in awe; how that God orchestrated everything to fit perfectly into His purpose for our lives.

It is well with our souls.
