Bowels of Compassion

     "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"
 
     ~ 1 John 3:17

Everything I Need

I asked for strength and

God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and

God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity and

God gave me brawn and brains to work.

I asked for courage and

God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience and

God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.

I asked for love and

God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors and

God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.

I received everything I needed.

My prayers have all been answered.

Perfect Love

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

~ 1 John 4:18

Faithfully

Faithfully


Tonight I saw a shooting star.
Made me wonder where you are.
For years I have been dreaming of you;
I wonder if you're thinking of me too.
In this world of cheap romance,
And love that only fades after the dance,
They say that I'm a fool to wait for somethin' more.
How can I really love someone I've never seen before?
I have longed for true love every day that I have lived,
And I know real love is all about learnin' how to give.
I pray that God will bring you to me,
I pray you'll find we waiting faithfully.

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I will write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
No matter how long it takes, I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully

Tonight I saw two lovers kiss.
Reminded me of my own loneliness.
They say that I'm a fool to keep on prayin' for you;
How can I give up pleasure for a dream that won't come true?
I will keep believing that God still has a plan.
And though I can not see you now,
I know that He can.
And someday, I will give you all of me.
Until I find you, I'll be waiting faithfully.

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I wil write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
Now matter how long it takes I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I will write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
No matter how long it takes I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully, faithfully.
