Romans 8:28 (Lyric) by amanda_dcosta

I sit here alone deep in thought What will my future bring me? It's so uncertain, and distrought There's million things that scare me. There's dreams not met, there's hopelessness, And feelings of despair For each time I thread on this path I'm scared and run away. Yes, this is life as we see it Its common where we live To turn around, and with a bound to gallop out of reach. But, when i met my Saviour, He changed my life around, He held me with his loving arms, And carried me right on. And now I live with courage, I do not fear the night For by the name of Jesus I see the light. I see the light that guides me I see the light that shines Inside me, growing brighter As with love in me he smiles. He gives me hope to dream on He gives me hope to grow And with each and every passing day I see him more and more. I am not scared or worried My spirit not forlorn There's radiant plans for me I know Because I love him so.

Alchemy, I might be a good person, but only because my God inspires me through His word (in the Bible). Without Him I would be a wreck. Just as a vehicle needs refilling each time the fuel tank gets exhausted, ss does my life need refilling (infilling of His Spirit) to help me continue, for there are umpteen times when each of us is exhausted, and we come to a point where we say, 'O God help me!' Banking on His word gives me the confidence that I live in hope even through my toughest times, not worrying what tomorrow brings.
You probably know the story about the 'Footprints in the sands of time'. A man walks with God along the sandy shore of life.... there are two sets of footprints.... and all along there's two sets of prints. But during the toughest times in his life, over the rocky edge of the shore leading him through utmost danger to the other side of safety there's only one set of footprints. He feels dismayed and questions God...'Why did you not walk with me. I was depending on you to hold my hand and lead me through, but have only left me alone to struggle on my own.'
' No', says God. 'The footprints that you see and not yours, but mine. It was through those difficult times that I carried you.'
