I'm not always available to shine my light, I ain't always happy, things ain't always right. But the Lord never said this ole world was my home, He said I'm just a pilgrim to keep movin' on.
So I set my sights on eternal heights - With my eyes on the Kingdom above. Then I hide my life in the light of His word, and rest in my sweet Savior's love.
(Sure as the Sun by Glen Campbell)
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(1 John 4:4)
Sometimes, people will have a problem with you and spread misinformation and lies, so others have a problem with you too. People who seek to destroy your character are only doing it because something about your character is destroying their inner-peace.

Why me Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the blessings I've known. Why me Lord? What did I ever do that was worth love from you, and the kindness you've shown?
Lord help me, Jesus. I've wasted it so help me, Jesus. I know what I am. Now that I know that I've needed you so help me, Jesus. My soul's in your hands.
(Why Me Lord sung by George Jones, written by Kris Kristofferson)
(1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (7) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (8) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. (9) As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. (10) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (11) These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (12) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. (13) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (14) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (15) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. (16) Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. (17) These things I command you, that ye love one another. (18) If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. (19) If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (20) Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. (21) But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. (22) If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. (23) He that hateth me hateth my Father also. (24) If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. (25) But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. (26) But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (27) And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
(John Chapter 15)
The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
(C.S. Lewis)
God notices every tear.
The timeless theme - earth and heaven will pass away. It's not a dream, God will make all things new that day. Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell. Evil is banished to eternal hell.
No more night. No more pain. No more tears. Never cryin' again. And praises to the great I Am, we will live in the light of the risen Lamb
(No More Nights by Glen Campbell)
(John 3:16-17)
He was the Son God sent to one and all. Put on this earth to hang there on that cross. Born to die so we could live. He had the birthday, we got the gift. There's no way in this world we could repay the miracle He gave us on that day.
(The Gift by Randy Travis)
