His Healing Love

When you're lonely and sad, Jesus loves you.
When your heart has been broken, He cares.
When you've sinned and you ask, He'll forgive you.
Every burden He carries and shares.

When you lean upon Him, He'll uphold you.
Every prayer that you utter, He'll hear.
When you ask Him for strength, He'll sustain you.
For He knows every sorrow and tear.

Jesus feels all the hurt that you suffer;
For He suffered, and agonized too.
He was succored with Heavenly solace,
And He offers that solace to you.

Through the long, lonely nights He'll be with you;
You're His child, and He calls you His own.
Through the hard, bitter days He will hold you.
For you don't have to bear it alone.

Put your trust in the God of all comfort.
Lay your problems all down at His feet.
And His peace that is past understanding,
Will bring healing, and make you complete.

Staying Young, Job 42:10:17

Tips on how to Stay Young

1. Your mind isn't old; keep developing it.

-Watch less television and read more.
-Spend time in with people who talk about events and ideas rather than people and how sorry this generation has become.

2. Your humor isn't over; keep enjoying it.

Laugh out Loud...

-Be around older people, who still see that sunny side of life. They can tell a great stories. They enjoy loud belly laugh.
-You look fabulous when you laugh. That takes years off your face.

3. Your strength isn't gone; keep using it.
-Don't let yourself get out of shap.
-Stay active.
-Eat right. Watch your weight.
-Quit addressing every ache and pain.
-Quit talking about how weak you are getting and how others will do this and that for you.

4. Your opportunities haven't vanished; keep pursuing them.

-Go to people all around you who could use an encouraging word, an affirming note, a phone call that says, "I love you, I believe in you and I am praying for you."
-Opportunities to help others have not vanished.

5. Your God is not dead; keep serving and seeking Him.
- The Living Gos is ageless.
-JC is timeless and ever relevant.
-Continue to enjoy some time alone with your Lord. This is so important!

There is no more trustworthy than the Lord Himself. Continue cultivating a meaningful relatonship with Him. Seek Him diligently and often.

Being truly satisfied , fulfilled, challenged, useful, godly and joyful, life living by happily ever after would not be impossible like Job's.
