QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

MY LORD WILL FIGHT FOR ME


Today I stand clueless about what is happening around me.
*** *** ***
Battle with sins I had faced.
Thought I would overcome the temptations and lust by my own strength,
Alas... I was rejected and guilt filled my heart.
I stood discouraged and depressed,
But then came Jesus Christ, who showed me His love and said,
“I will never cast you away.”
His word and blood removed all the guilt,
He battled for me and victory was mine.
***
Battle with false allegations I had faced.
These were thrown upon me by those who had never known me,
I told to myself that I would assert my innocence,
I tried to prove myself right but all my attempts were in vain.
But then came Jesus Christ, who showed me the way and said,
“I will defend you.”
It wasn’t just mere words but He did the same,
and raised me in front of everyone.
***
Battle with pride I had faced.
Thought I was the reason for all the success in my life,
Thought I will do all things with my own strength,
And There I stood with failures and dejection,
But then came Jesus Christ, who showed me His life and said,
“I will give you the grace to learn from My life.”
He taught me how to be humble,
And then I was modest and victorious.
***
Battle with enemies I had faced.
They tried to destroy my life,
I stood weakly before them,
I tried to fight but I could not overpower them,
But then came Jesus Christ, who gave me His strength and said,
“My strength will be made perfect in your weakness”
He gave me His strength and I won the battle against them.
***
But today, I was standing clueless about what was happening around me,
I had never faced any kind of battle like this before,
For this battle is against my family life and it was thrown at me by my loved ones,
I had never thought that my relatives will come against my life,
But here they are condemning me with their words,
I don’t know what to do and I was confounded,
Then I heard the voice of Jesus Christ speaking to me,
“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life.
As I was with Moses, So I will be with you.
I will never leave you nor forsake you. “

Those words brought so much comfort to my life,
For I know my Lord will fight for me and give me victory,
And I need not heed about my enemies.
But I prayed to God,
“Please do not destroy their lives, for they are my own,
But instead give me the grace to stand victorious in your glory.”
