God is good, God is love, Patient, Powerful, God is here. When I wake, I want more of You; Your words are richer than any exquisite delight, Your loving whispers more precious than any treasure. When I rest, I still want more of You; Show me Your face, Speak to me once more. I never tire of hearing Your voice, For it gives me new life. Teach me, oh God, How to follow You better; When I fall, Pick me up again. You are faithful like the stars, Always You are there. Never will I understand Your infinity.

Chorus of "Your Found Me" by The Fray

Below is a short article I just found.

Paul tells us: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength but with your testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Over time that promise has become abbreviated to "God will never give you more than you can handle."

Like many others, I've derived comfort from these words, though I know God does not "give" me loss, pain and grief.Like most bumper-sticker theology, this promise appeals to my concerns about myself and my well-being. If I take Paul's words and God's faithfulness seriously, I must also look beyond my self-centeredness to the pain and severe testing others endure. What of the hungry, the abused, the victims of racism? What of the people of the world who have known no other life than a daily existence of war and terror? Could it be that God could use me to provide a "way out" for the hopeless? Could I help others handle life?

A better bumper sticker might be: "God is faithful."

There are so many people who think I’m crazy, that can’t understand what I believe, that don’t WANT to believe what I believe.  They don’t want to trust God, they don’t want to give up their self-reliance.  Some people are just so stubborn that they’d rather stick with the evil they know, rather than step out and find something truly amazing. I hope they see that there’s something different in me, I know some people have, becasue they’ve told me.  I also know I don’t always practice what I preach, but guess what! I’m human, I mess up!  But theg good thing, this Person Whom I try to "Love with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind and with all my strength" (Mark 12:30) is ALWAYS ready to pick me up when I fall, and forgive me when I mess up. My prayer for everyone who reads this blog, and all my friends who don’t get a chance to read this, is to know Jesus as their Savior, and friend.  And to those of you who already have a relationship with God, my prayer is for you to never stumble in your walk with Him, and to grow in your relationship with God, because God is the ONLY One who will never fail you.  Friends fail you, family will fail you, I’ll fail you, but God will NEVER fail you.  He’ll ALWAYS be there for you, He is perfect in every way, and He wants to know YOU more! (The song doesn’t go quite like that, it jumps around a bit... if you haven’t listened to it, listen to it NOW!)
