God is Good and Faithful...

No matter what we do, say, deny or believe, God is good and faithful still 

even when we cannot explain His pure and perfect will.

The art of word cannot defer

Nor from the heart and soul deter

Those things that God to life ordains

Of human hurt and sorrow-pains

Lest we, in laughter’s lease forget

That God is good and faithful yet

This load that we are called to bear

Of living’s give and taking care

Is but the little leap whereby

We traverse to the by-and-by

And all must submit to death’s chill

Where God is good and faithful still

The art of word cannot estrange

The heart and soul from the exchange

Of transient to eternity

As flesh dons immortality

For naught of thought annuls the soul

Where faithful God is in control

Even though my Uncle Abner knows that God is good and faithful still, he sorrows now in the death of his wife and soul-mate, Almeda(mentioned at the end of this post) who passed away yesterday.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 

Deut.7:9 KJV
