John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Praise God, the burdens of life are temporary at best, 1 Pet. 1:6.
We are just “pilgrims and strangers” passing through enemy territory.
It will be far better when we get home. The best is yet to come, Phil. 1:21-23.
We’ll Understand It Better By And By
_______________________________________________
Trials dark on every hand, — And we cannot understand — All the ways that God would lead us — To that blessed promised land. — But He'll guide us with His eye, — And we'll follow till we die. — We will understand it better by and by.
CHORUS:
By and by when the morning comes; — When the saints of God are gathered home, — We will tell the story how we’ve overcome; — We will understand it better by and by.
Temptations hidden snares — often take us unaware, — And our hearts are made to bleed — By some thoughtless word or deed. — And we wonder why the test — When we try to do our best. — We will understand it better by and by.
Charles A. Tindley 1905
