What God Hath Promised
God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

Every day we have on this earth is a gift from God. Every breath that we breath is a gift that we do not deserve, but His grace is overflowing. Be thankful of what He has done in your life and look for ways to use the gifts He has given you to bless others. Even when bad things happen to us, we should look for the ways that God can be lifted up in times of despair. We must learn to be content with Christ. If you lost everything you had, would you be content with Christ?
That is a challenging question that my pastor ask us last night at church. It puts things in perspective and opened my eyes a little wider to the greatness of our God.

2 Corinthians 9:8
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

God Bless,
