For God I Live, For God I Dieby Serenity B.

No one ever said it would be easy
Giving up my life for You
Forsaking all I have
Doing what I had to do

Didn’t know what lay ahead of me
But I already knew the end
Everlasting life with my Father
My Savior and my Friend

Some say it’s not worth it
I’m going much too far
But they don’t know You like I do
They don’t know who You really are

You’re the Alpha and Omega
The First and the Last
The Mighty One of Israel
The Future and the Past

Although the enemy might try
I’ve already made up my mind
It may be hard at times
For God I Live, For God I Die

Upon the eagle's wings I ride
A daily treasure that I find
And source of hope I can’t deny
For God I Live, For God I Die

I know where my strength comes from
My joy and sweet release
My comfort and my encouragement
My ever-present source of peace

I would never try to deny You
Or ever trade You for another
Not for money nor for fame
Not my father nor my mother

I treasure this love we share
As I earnestly seek Your face
Dwelling in Your presence
Living by Your grace

You’re the Alpha and Omega
The First and the Last
The Mighty One of Israel
The Future and the Past

Although the enemy might try
I’ve already made up my mind
It may be hard at times
For God I Live, For God I Die

Life isn't a journey, it's a walk with God.

I look in the sky, and I see clouds.
He looks from the sky, and He sees repentance.

He sees me, not through my eyes,
But through my heart.

CROSS = Christ Repented Our Sin Selflessly

Be fishers of men even though some fish will fall out. Do not stop trying!

The Son takes away the darkness and gives light!

No matter what your problem is – don’t nurse it, don’t curse it, don’t rehearse it. Just call on God … he’ll reverse it.

Storms are only temporary – the Son always shines afterwards.

Don’t wonder if someone likes or love you … God always does!

Problems in your life? … Use the big 4: Prayer, Faith, Patience and Thanks-to-God.

Things I learned from Noah's Ark.

1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety's sake travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

If the devil were to write his beatitudes, they would probably go something like this:

1. Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour once a week with their fellow Christians -- they are my best workers.
    
2. Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked -- I can use them.
    
3. Blessed are those who seek worldly pleasures instead of seeking the will of God -- they are my missionaries.
    
4. Blessed are the trouble makers -- they shall be called my children.
    
5. Blessed are those who murmur and complain and have no joy they really make my work easy.
    
6. Blessed are those who are focused on the minister's mannerisms and mistakes -- for they get nothing out of his sermons.
    
7. Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church -- for he is a part of the problem instead of the solution.
    
8. Blessed are those who gossip -- for they shall cause strife and divisions that please me.
    
9. Blessed are those who are easily offended -- for they will soon get angry and quit.
    
10. Blessed are those who do not give their tithes or offering to carry on God's work but will spend it selfishly on themselves -- for they are MY helpers.
     
11. Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother and sister -- for he shall be with me forever.

A Sold Out For Jesus Woman!by cynthia smith

Worldly women wonder where my secret lies,
I’m not flashy, conceited, or caught up in my size.
But when I tell them it’s the Jesus in me

They think I’m telling lies.
I say it’s in the strength of God’s arms,
The feel of His love,
He orders my every step,
Honey, I am covered in the blood.
I am a Woman, spiritually;
A sanctified Woman, that’s me!

I walk into church, just as cool as I please,
I may grab a fan and raise my hand
Or worship falling down on my knees.
The Spirit comes up out of me to make my soul fly free.

I say it’s the fire in my bones,
Unspeakable joy that’s so sweet.
It’s the wind in my dance on my Holy Ghost feet.
I am a Woman, Spiritually.
A Holy Ghost-filled Woman, that’s me!

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me,
Oh they try so much,
But they cannot touch my inner chastity.
When I try to tell them, 
Those lustful eyes still can’t see,
I say no, I am not looking back,
I am not fooled by your smile.
I’m waiting on God: worldly men cramp my style!
I am a Woman, Spiritually
A living Sacrificial Woman, that’s me.

Now you understand just why my head is not bowed,
Why I shout and jump about, or praise and sing out loud!
When you see my light shining, it ought to make you proud!

I say it is the faith I have in Jesus
Through all my ups and downs,
Each experience, a testimony
Leading straight to my crown.
"Cause I am a Woman, Spiritually.
A Sold-out for Jesus Woman,
Yeah, that’s me!

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

(Matthew 5:10-16)
