Title: I refuse to be discouraged Post by: TigerLily on April 13, 2003, 10:14:03 AM Wouldnt it be wonderful if we could get ourselves to this point of refusing to be discouraged and beat down by things of this world! i strive to get there.. TL I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why: I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team. He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name; Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same. My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end; His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend. When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go. When circumstances threaten to rob me of my peace; He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease. When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul. The great "I AM" is with me. My life is in His hand; My God, He is my hope, It's in His strength I stand. I refuse to be defeated, My eyes are on my God; He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod. I'm looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven's throne above; My prayers have reached the heart of God I'm resting in His love. I give God thanks in everything. My eyes are on His face; The battle's His, the victory mine; He'll help me win the race. -Author Unknown Title: Re:I refuse to be discouraged Post by: Ambassador4Christ on April 13, 2003, 01:47:09 PM Wouldnt it be wonderful if we could get ourselves to this point of refusing to be discouraged and beat down by things of this world! i strive to get there..

Amen, that was beautiful. It is nice and calming to read inspirational works. This reminds me of a few words my 83 year old mother says regularly, "KEEP LOOKING UP".
