Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Good things and bad things, pleasure and pain.
We can't have all sunshine, but it's certainly true,
There is never a cloud the sun doesn't shine through.
So always remember that whatever betide you.
The power of God is always beside you.
And if friends disappoint you and plans go astray,
And nothing works out, in just the right way.
And you feel you have failed in achieving your goal,
And that life wrongly placed you in an unfitting role.
Take heart and "stand tall" and think who you are.
For God is your Father and no one can bar
Or keep you from reaching your desired success,
Or withhold the joy that is yours to possess.
For with God on your side, it matters not who,
Is working to keep life's good things from you.
For you need nothing more than God's guidance and love,
To insure you the things that your most worthy of...
So trust in his wisdom and follow his ways,
And be not concerned with the world's empty praise,
But seek first HIS Kingdom, and you will possess.
The world's greatest riches, which is true happiness.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
~ Matthew 6:33
No Favor Do I Seek Today
I come not to ask; to plead, or implore you,
I just come to tell You, how much I adore you,
For to kneel in your presence, makes me feel blest.
For I know that You know all my needs best. . .
And it fills me with joy just to linger with You
For prayer is much more than just asking for things---
It's the peace and contentment that quietness brings. . .
So thank You again for Your mercy and love
And for making me heir to Your kingdom above!
Blessed be the Lord,
because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song I will praise him.
~ Psalms 28:6, 7
