The Road Of Faith


Shine your light O Lord
So that I may see
Just where I am heading
And what's in front of me

Your word is the light
The lamp unto my feet
It may not light far ahead
Nor show me where it's steep

But it gives enough light
For each step I take
Just enough to see ahead
Along this road of faith

For this is what it surely is
As we walk with Jesus Christ
The road that we are travelling on
Is by faith, not by sight

So shine your light O Lord
So we may see our way
Though you only show in part
Itâs enough for each new day

This Moment

I may never see tomorrow;
There's no written guarantee.
And things that happened yesterday
Belong to history.

I cannot predict the future,
I cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment,
I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely,
For it soon will pass away.
And be lost forever
As a part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion,
Help the fallen to their feet.
Be a friend unto the friendless,
Make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today
May never be undone.
And friendships that I fail to win
May nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance
On bended knees to pray.
And thank God with a humble heart
For giving me this day.

INTERVIEW WITH GOD

"Come in," God said, "So, you would like to interview Me?" "
If you have the time," I said..
God smiled and said: "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"

"What surprises you most about mankind?"

God answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again..

That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health..

That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future..

That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived . . ."

God's hands took mine and we were silent for a while and then I asked . . . "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

God replied with a smile:
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them.. What they can do is to let themselves be loved..

To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives..

To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis!

To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least..

To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them..

To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness..
To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings..

To learn that money can buy everything but happiness..

To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different..

To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them . . . and likes them anyway..

To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves."

I sat there for awhile enjoying the moment. I thanked Him for his time and for all that He has done for me and my family, and He replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I'll answer."

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel..

Thinking of you..

PS: Pass it on to someone special in your life . . .. God Bless..
