REASONS

There is always a reason for everything.
You have many problems, and then they take wing.
You may wonder then, where you got the knack,
Of sending them away, but you know they'll be back!
It's not your doing, it's He that you serve,
He takes care of you, more than you deserve.
When we see Him in that land so high,
We may learn the reasons - up there in the sky!
Reasons for our pain, for our troubles and all,
Are they to make sure, that on Him we call?
Some things make us stronger, and some make us wait,
For something we want - Oh, don't let it be late!
Things are going badly for you this fine day?
Take your cares to Jesus, get on your knees and pray!
Tell Him you love Him, and He owns you heart and soul.
Then everything will come out right, for God is in control!

I CAN AND I WILL

Life has it's hills and it's valleys, It's a long and twisting road, There are battles to be conquered.Where seeds of doubt have been sowed. When we see a high hill before us, We may think it's way too high, And we wonder if we can make it, And should we even try,And then I hear God's still, small voice, It comes from deep within, "You can do this, my child, And this time you will win!" My heart leaped with assurance, I CAN and I WILL!
NOTHING CAN STOP ME, FROM CLIMBING THIS HILL! It may be the highest hill, That I will ever climb, But by God's sweet grace. I will do it this time! And with His love and mercy,
Which covers us all, I will have the strength and courage, That keeps us from a nasty fall. His wisdom and His consuming love, Leads to sweet victory at last, And we will worship at His feet, As our faith becomes steadfast. So let your faith carry you along with God. My the lord be with you.

Better To Give Than To Receive

A young man, a student in one of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions.

As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.

The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."

"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this affects him."

The student did so and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again.

He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some unknown hand, would save from perishing.

The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. "Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?"

The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before: "It's more blessed to give than to receive."

FEAR FIGHTER

Fear is a poor chisel to carve out your tomorrow. If you are looking at your future from a position of fear, i want to let you know that view is inaccurate and distorted. It's never safe to look into the future with the eye of fear. The worst liar in the world are your own fear. One of the greatest discoveries you can make is to find out that you can do what you are afraid you couldn't do. Let me tell you the different between faith and worry. ''Worry is faith in negative,trust in the unpleasant,assurance of disaster and belief in defeat. Worry is a magnet that attracts negative conditions. Faith is more powerful force that creates positive circumstances....Worry is wasting today's time to clutter up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday troubles''
An old man was asked what robbed him of his joy in his life. His reply was 'Things that never happened'. Fear want you to run from things that aren't after you. If you have anythings you want to do now don't let fear of failing cast it away.If you don't fall you can't pick something up. Tell yourself you are the greatest individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and go out and live it without fear.

Sometimes In Life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there.... to server some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be but the you lock eye with them and you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair but in reflection you realized that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength or willpower. Everything happen for a reason. Nothing happen by chance or by means of goodluck, illness, injury, love, lost moment of true greatness and sheer stupidity. All occur to test the limit of your soul. Without these small test life would be like a smoothly paved straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life. The successes can create who you are and the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurt you, betray you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you but also because they are teaching you to love and to open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you never talked to before and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sight high. Hold you head up because you have evrey right to. Create you own life and then go out and live it.
