Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Sunday

Happy Sunday


I Refuse to be Discouraged
 
I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry:
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here's the reason why...
 
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
and I am on His team.
 
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
 
My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end,
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.
 
When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.
 
When circumstances threaten 
to rob me from my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.
 
And when my heart melts within me,
and weakness takes control,
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.
 
The great " I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hand,
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.
 
I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
as through this life I trod.
 
I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
my prayers have reached 
the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.
 
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine;
He'll help me win the race.
 ~ Lita Kurtzer
 
Isaiah 41:10
KJV
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; 
for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee: 
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.
 
A Blessed Sunday to you.
