Forever Humbled

I Used to Believe 

I used to believe that good things came to those who worked hard

I used to believe that if your motives were pure...you’d be rewarded 

I used to believe that if you had love in your heart that your shortcomings would be forgiven 

I used to believe everything would work out for the good...no matter how tragic the circumstances 

Now I’m wiser

I now know it doesn’t matter how faithful you are

or  how hard you try...for some people it’s just not meant to be

I now know that no matter how much you’ve been humbled 
or knocked down that you can be knocked that down that much farther 

I now know that no matter how hard you pray or try...your life is predetermined 

I now know that for some of us...it’s just not meant to be
