Steppingstone to God

An aching heart is but a steppingstone To greater joy than you’ve ever known , For things that cause the heart to ached Until you feel that it must break Become strength by which we climb To higher heights that are sublime . So when you’re overwhelmed with fears And all your hopes are drenched in tears , Think not that life has been unfair And given you too much to bear , For God has chosen you because With all your weaknesses and flaws He feels that you are worthy of The greatness of His wondrous love . So welcome every stumbling block And every thorn and jagged rock For each one is a steppingstone To God, who wants you for His own , And on the steppingstone of strife You reach at last eternal life .
