Amazing Grace!
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see

'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my sheild and portion be,
As long as life endures

Yet, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall posess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun

"Whatever God calls you to do He equips you to do as well."

"Carry your cross and follow me"

Consider it. If I give you a 20kg weight to carry and tell you to walk with it everyday for 1 month. What do you think would happen? You'll be tired and pretty worn out, but you would have built some major muscle mass. Same is the Word. When your time comes to leave this world, if you carries your cross throughout life and persevered until your last breath. You can be assured, that you will leave this world also very strong, with all the good values that a person can accumulate. Patience, perseverance, strength, empathy and totally experienced.. He promised to build us up and not destroy us..
