Lean on Him

i got arrogant
selfish and proud 
thinking I'd be someone amazing
someone the world would recognize 
i thought I'd gone through my
"hard time"
that now I could do whatever I wanted 

but

life is a continual hard time
there are no breaks
I shouldn't have gotten comfortable 
hard times never come in ways 
you expect or want
do they come in the ways to make you grow
and growing hurts.
all we can do to lessen the pain is to
lean on Him.
lean on His atoning power.

He has gone through every sorrow
every heartbreak imaginable 
He knows.

i got arrogant. 
I am sorry.

j.h.
