All My Way

The day I chose to give my life to You
Is the day that everything began to change
The problems that I faced
Were getting stronger
I thought when I got saved
My problems would go away
But the change I made
Began to really take a toll on me
And when I told my friends about You Lord
The laughed hysterically
But no matter what they say
Or what they choose to think of me
I'm gonna stay here strong
For You my Lord
No matter what the cost may be

I'm gonna serve You
Because I love You
I'm going with You
All the way
When friends forsake me
I won't let it break me
I'm going with You
All the way
All the way

Now the problems that I face are getting smaller
Because my faith in You
Is getting oh so strong
The peace and love from You
It keeps me standing
Through anything I go through
I know that I can't lose
'Cause the more I pray
The more I feel Your strength inside of me
And the more I seek Your face
I find You're all I really need
And this feeling that I feel
I've never felt since I've been free
I'm gonna stand here strong
For You my Lord
No matter what the cost may be
(All The Way - Ron Kenoly)

I was doing my cardio when I listened to this song. Oh well.. although I have the original CD, but I never listened to it before. The song itself is not special, the tunes are not catchy.. but it was the lyric that struck me and made me pause my exercise for a while..

It is true that as Christians, we sometimes think that life will be very easy.. our problems will be *poof* disappear.. but sorry to say, it won't happen. Problems will make us stronger.. stronger in faith to God and stronger to face our daily life. I love the phrase "The more I pray, the more I feel Your strength inside of me" .. Yup, problems might still arise in our life, but God will strengthen us for sure, IF we pray without ceasing.

Be strong, fellas! God bless you!

Wealthy

On this day, God wants you to know...
that letting go makes you wealthier. Wealth is never measured by what you have, but by what you can give away. You are rich with money when you can afford to donate. You are rich with love when you can give love freely. You are rich with God when you can behold your enemy with compassion.
