Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." -Galatians 6:9
When you enter society, or in schools,
whenever there is a competitive environment,
you face a dilemma - that is,
whether to be nice to everyone who seeks your help and ends up being manipulated,
or to be jaded and keep everything to yourself.
It's a hard decision, really.
The easiest solution probably is just to strike an equilibrium, be nice but know where to stop.
But seriously, I haven't really figured that out yet.
In other words, I can't really say I can be selfless and helpful all the time to my friends.
But no matter what it is, I'll think that if you're good, you're good.
There's no need to make sure everyone competes at level ground, and has to work hard for what they want.
Besides, I have God on my side, what do I fear? Nothing, of course (:
Psalm 91:9-16 tells us,
"If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge -
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Yay.
Stay close to God, love him, and he will protect us from everything.
Let's just do our part as a Christian, be a reflector of Christ, and God will not let any harm befall us.
God promises us,
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." -Hebrews 13:5;
"I am with you always, even to the end of the age." -Matthew 28:20.
Let's stop worrying about the future,
it isn't something within our control, it's all in God's hands!
Let's trust in Him wholeheartedly, because regardless of what happens, He will definitely be there for us, always.
