Written by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), an Indian poet, writer, educator and environmentalist. This is an excerpt from the book “The Heart of God.”
I threw away my heart in the world; you took it up. I sought for joy and gathered sorrow, you gave me sorrow and I found joy,. My heart was scattered in pieces, you picked them up in your hand and strung them in a thread of love, You let me wander from door to door to show me at last how near you are. Your love plunged me into the deep trouble. When I raised my head I found I was at your door.
As servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses [2 Corinthians 6:4]
