Suffering

In my suffering O Lord, I see the beauty of my soul.
In the beauty of my soul, I see only you.
You are indeed the beauty that encompasses this whole world.
In your beauty I see love and, in your love, I see my being.
In my being I see you.
You are in me as you are also in the source of all my sufferings that are also made in your image.
You make me whole even through my suffering,
Thank you, Lord, for letting me suffer to know beauty beyond measure that I would have never known if not for all that I suffer.
Your perfection manifests through all things; especially in suffering.
I can see, feel and truly enjoy the beauty of your love as you are there with me in your fullest glory when I suffer, because you love me.
I love you my Lord and my God.
