Psalm 109

21
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

"Greatest Love Of All"

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be


Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me


[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all


I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be


[Chorus]


And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

1TIMONTHY 3:16.

And without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
received up into glory.

"Have I Told You Lately"

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do


For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one


Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do


There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one


And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do

"I'm Ready" let the rivers wash over us

I want to wake up and know where I'm going
Say I'm ready
Say I'm ready


I want to go where the rivers are overflowing and
I'll be ready
I'll be ready


I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me


If the waters can redeem me
I'm ready
I'm ready


I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me


I want to wake up
I want to know where I'm going
I want to go where the rivers are over-flowing


I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready
I'm ready ...

Matters of the heart and how to protect your heart sung by a beautiful christian

There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
There's a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside


Who stole your heart left you with a space
That no one and nothing can fill
Who stole your heart who took it away
Knowing that without it you can't live


Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key


Who stole your heart
The smile from your face
The innocence the light from your eyes
Who stole your heart or did you give it away
And if so then when and why


Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief
Who stole your heart and the key


Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in no one


Who stole your heart
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank


Who hurt your heart
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing can heal
You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent


But still all sentiment is gone
But still you have no trust in no one


If you can tear down the walls
Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay
And don't forget that you defend an empty space


And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your hear and take it back


Who stole your heart
Maybe no one can say
One day you will find it I pray

The minute you start to curse and hate and forget your conscious towards god the enemy had stloe your heart.
And like tracy chapman say i hope and pray you dont go that way.

Look to the stars brothers and look to 2 peter 2:18-2:19.
Never make someone suffer who you should love for if you make a child of god suffer you are not one.
Sorry to be blunt but the time has come to make that change right now

The time has come to defeat the cults of the world and the scum of the world to rid the world of evil.
With love and peace i pray amen

Oops above post should be one peter

The best part of these scriptures for me is 9 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. That means in my heart never make someone suffer whom you should love to, but if you can add more please share

1 Peter 2:18-20New International Version (NIV)

18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.1 peter not two haha

1 Peter 2:18-20Good News Translation (GNT)

The Example of Christ's Suffering
18 You servants must submit yourselves to your masters and show them complete respect, not only to those who are kind and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19 God will bless you for this, if you endure the pain of undeserved suffering because you are conscious of his will. 20 For what credit is there if you endure the beatings you deserve for having done wrong? But if you endure suffering even when you have done right, God will bless you for it.

Tracy Chapman beautiful person with a beautiful heart and mind and soul shares her message from god to stop burning your bridges and to be on thee watch tower

"Bridges"

All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you'll find you're walking
Lonely


Baby I
Never meant to hurt you
Sometimes the best intentions
Still don't make things right


But all my ghosts they find me
Like my past they think they own me
In dreams and dark corners they surround me
Till I cry I cry


Let me take this time to set the record straight
Let me take this time to take it all back
Let me take this time to tell you how I felt
Let me take this time to try and make it right


But you can
Walk away
Be all alone
Spend all your time
Thinking about the way things used to be
If love feels right
You work it out
You don't give it up
Baby


Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that


You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight
You should take some time baby heed the words I said
You should take some time think about your life
You should take some time before you throw it all away


I ain't got the time
To sit here and wait around
But I got the time
If you say I'm what you want

"This Time"

This time
I won't show I'm vulnerable
This time
I won't give in first
This time
I will hold out with my love
This time
I will not be hurt


I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
I'm gonna treat me right
I'm gonna make you say
That you love me first
And you'll be the one with the most to lose tonight
This time


This time
I won't let my emotions rule my life
This time
I'm gonna keep my heart locked safe inside
This time
I'm gonna be my own best friend
This time
I'm gonna be the one


To win
Your love
Your affection
To hide
My fear
Of rejection
This time

but I preferred to do nothing without your consent
in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion
but of your own accord.

Tracy Chapman beautiful person with a beautiful heart and mind and soul shares her message from god to stop burning your bridges and to be on thee watch tower
i think Josh Garrels sounds like Tracy Chapman :)

[video=youtube_share;IctD9l4F-ag]http://youtu.be/IctD9l4F-ag[/video]

Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand this, all by and by

Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both
We’re all cast-aways in need of ropes
Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions I’ve seen

Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every chorus of the song
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
Leading mice and men down to their fates
But some will courageously escape
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
While walkin’ that line back home

So much more to life than we’ve been told
It’s full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
Go down into the river and let it run
And wash away all the things you’ve done
Forgiveness alright

Chorus

Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul
And I’ve got no place left go
Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin’ on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I’m free to love once and for all
And even when I fall I’ll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levee and my bluff
Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the son of god is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we’re the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon

Chorus

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times,
what is still to come.
I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'

2 Corinthians 1:3,4


3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

4 who comfort us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.

We should want to be apart of this endless cycle until God eliminates the need for it.

We go through trials, God comforts and helps us, we comfort others who go through trials and God comforts them also, they in turn help others along with God and so on...........

A Psalm of David.

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
He leadeth me
beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness
for His Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD
for ever.'

(Psalm 23)

Praise God!



Amen! Praise God!

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
