This short poem is for DVerse Poetics, where we are writing about secrets. I am also linking to One-liner Wednesday.
Who knows why suffering exists?
Some is open, some is kept secret.
Some believe in future redemption,
But even they will admit:
Only God knows the details
And timing, and He keeps it secret.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
– Romans 8:28 (KJV)
I suppose there are some things we’ll never know. Thank you for joining in!

I like the description of the half-known secrets of suffering that God keeps. Perhaps it helps encourage trust.
