The blessing in disguise,
Is the blessing you don’t recognize,
It’s the blessing you try to rebuke,
Pray away, command to leave, at first sight.
~
It’s the blessing that isn’t obviously labelled,
Not nicely packaged with ribbons and bows.
It’s the blessing that requires some effort,
It’s the blessing that initially looks undesirable.
~
It’s the blessing that came with more than you asked for.
That was tangled up in a trial.
It’s the blessing that was delivered unexpectedly,
And now look suddenly…
~
This blessing can change your life if you’re willing,
A lot will hinge on this moment and how you handle it.
~
Accept the blessing in disguise,
And don’t complain.
Accept the blessing in disguise,
With all the grace that flows from it
~
Look, discern with your spiritual eyes,
So you can recognize,
Your latest blessing,
Though it be in disguise.
