I HAVE A WONDERFUL FRIEND




I have a wonderful friend
He travels with me everywhere I go to
When am depressed, confused and in despair
He comforts me all through
When I am lost and looking for answers
He guides me and provides me answers
He is a friend that's forever faithful
Only he knows where my heart bleeds
I have never seen a friend so true and reliable
That can help and support a man in fulfilling his dreams
We are always together; I dare not get him of my sight
He is all and everything I need in a friend
He talks to me every day and tells me what to expect tomorrow
I am so lucky to find a friend so good to me
Someone who accepts me despite the imperfection in me

We will forever journey together, my bible and I

GOD IS AWARE




God is aware you don't have a shelter to lay your head on at night
God is aware that you can barely afford to buy foods to eat that will last you through the day
God is aware of the problems and challenges you are going through each day
God is aware that you've been looking for a job for years
God is aware that you are jailed in prison for a crime you didn't commit
God is aware that you are sick and at the hospital in need of a miracle
God is aware you don't have a family that’s going to take care of you
God is aware you have been praying for breakthrough for years 
God is aware you've got a problem and need someone to talk to
You've got to stop leaning your efforts on yourself 
And stop depending on families and friends
God has been listening to your petitions
He knows your heart and the pains inside 
He is aware you are fighting a battle; He is on your side 
You've got to let him take total control of your will
Let God always walk ahead of you in all your life endeavors 
He can alter the course of time and give you a new life and destiny

THE PORTER AND THE VESSEL




I am clay in your hands
I am the vessel and you are the porter
Can you mold me into your specification?
Because I am incomplete on my own
Can You touch my heart with your hands?
Remove the imperfection in my life
Give me a clean heart, spirit and a decent mind
Take your time and mold out the dirt in my life
Make me clean and useful
Remove all the proliferation affecting me today
Alone, I can not bring out the best in me
I am only a vessel 
You know better than I know myself to be
You can see through my shortcomings
Only you can refine me to suit thy need
Only you can make me important in this world am living in
I am the vessel and you are the porter
I am leaning my hopes on you
