Life’s Fleeting Happiness

Every joy,
every laughter,
every form of happiness
in this life is fleeting
and borrowed
and would soon give way to sorrow,
except for the love of God
which remains
and which gives back life
to all the other joys
that spring forth from it.

If you are hurting,
or grieving,
or struck down
with a wound of longing
for a joy that you have lost,
take comfort in God’s gentle heart
which has grieved the most
and from which flowed forth
comfort and healing
and joys far greater
than those that we have lost.

When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
