Faith and Courage is what will get you through this life.

In Life

In life there are people that will hurt us and cause us pain,
but we must learn to forgive and forget and not hold grudges.

In life there are mistakes we will make,
but we must learn from our wrongs and grow from them.

In life there are regrets we will have to live with, 
but we must learn to leave the past behind and realize it is something we can't change.

In life there are people we will loose forever and can't have back,
but we must learn to let go & move on.

In life there are going to be obstacles that will cause interference,
but we must learn to overcome these challenges and grow stronger.

In life there are fears that will hold us back from what we want,
but we must learn to fight them with the courage from within.

God holds our lives in his hands. He holds the key to our future. 
Only he knows our fate. 

He see's everything and knows everything. 
Everything in life really does happen for a reason: "God's Reason".

My Best Friend

You are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings,

At the mention of Your name, my heart it sings.

The beginning and the end, everything in between,

When I need guidance, it is always on You that I lean.

 

You’ve lifted me from the miry clay, the Rock on which I stand,

Whenever I fall, You pick me up, and lead me by the hand.

Heavenly Father You are Faithful, and You are always Just,

In You I believe, and I know, in You I can always put my trust.

 

I put my faith in my Best friend, my wonderful Creator,

My Saviour, Redeemer, in the Universe there is none greater.

I don’t worry about tomorrow, for the best is yet to be,

Because I know that You my God, forever dwells in me.

 

So God, I put all my trust in You, the Magnificent One,

Who for the sins of man, gave His one and only Son.

That through the death of Jesus, I could be,

Living in Heaven with You, for Eternity!!!

God Know Best

God Knows Best

Our Father knows what's best for us,
So why should we complain--
We always want the sunshine,
But He knows there must be rain--

We love the sound of laughter
And the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear...

Our Father tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow,
He tests us, not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow...

For growing trees are strengthened
When they withstand the storm,
And the sharp cut of a chisel
Gives the marble grace and form...

God never hurts us needlessly,
And He never wastes our pain
For every loss He send to us
Is followed by rich gain...

And when we count the blessings
That God has so freely sent,
We will find no cause for murmuring
And no time to lament...

For our Father loves His children,
And to Him all things are plain,
So He never sends us pleasure
When the soul's deep need is pain...

So whenever we are troubled,
And when everything goes wrong,
It is just God working in us
To make our spirit strong.

Autumn Splendor

Autumn Leaves 

Bright and vibrant
Warm sun and bright blue sky
Chilly breezes blow
Golden Leaves from Heaven fall
To ride the wind and swirl around
Red,Orange,Yellow, Green and Brown
Colors of Beauty slowly come down
A symphany of Autumns Gifts sing
From God with Love to You and Me

I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth:
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Philippians 2:5-11

Of this incomparable One it is said that "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God"; yet such an One, who thus occupied the highest place of Deity in company with the Father and the Spirit, "was made flesh, and dwelt among us." He who is from everlasting to everlasting was born of a woman and died on a cross. He who according to the mind of the Spirit is Wonderful, was spit upon by men. He who, by the same mind, is Counsellor is rejected of men. He who is The Mighty God is crucified in abject weakness. He who is The everlasting Father, is a Son who learned obedience by the things which He suffered. He who is the Prince of Peace must Himself tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God, for the "day of vengeance" must yet be in His heart and He must yet break the nations with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel. He who said, "I am among you as he that serveth," also said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." He who is the chaste, wooing Lover of the Canticles is the King of glory who is mighty in battle. He who created all things occupied an infant's cradle. He who is holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners was made to be sin in behalf of others. He who was the Bread of Life was Himself hungry. He who was the giver of the supernatural Water of Life was Himself thirsty. He who was God's Gift of Life to a lost world was Himself dead. He who was dead is alive forevermore.   Jan Bagwell God Bless !! Tonight my brothers and sisters  , I  pray tonight that the blessing that I am feeling in prayer would come to you .  It 2:49 in the morning , I just want to lay here receive  all  that God has for me .

Through the valley

I have been through the valley,

Of the shadow of death.

Felt I just wouldn’t make it,

I was on my last breath.

My blood pressure soared,

To a level so high.

My heart nearly failed,

I thought I would die.

My head was pounding,

I broke into a sweat.

My life it was over,

But I had no regret.

But my life wasn’t over

God had other plans.

As I cried out to Him,

He stretched out His hands.

He slowed my heart down,

Wiped the sweat from my brow.

My head stopped pounding,

I was at ease now.

My Lord He was with me,

Every step of the way.

Right through the night,

And into the day.

Don’t take life for granted,

Yesterdays in the past.

Live for the moment,

Life goes so fast.

But one things certain in this life,

Call on Him, He’s always there.

For God does hear and answer,

Every single cry and prayer.

Travel The Road That Leads To God

Travel The Road That Leads To God


Our life is but a journey
And there is a path
Each of us must trod

But we will make it across the
hills and through the valleys
If we put our trust in GOD

GOD has traveled each path
we must walk
And he knows where each path leads

He knows the devil is traveling
these paths to
seeking to deceive

GOD knows your every thought
And he hears your every prayer

And if you call upon his name
He will always be there

So whether you are on the mountain
Or in the valley below

Just ask GOD to guide you
And he will show you the way to go

God Bless !
