"Don't Hide The
Scars"
I wept all alone, suffered on my own I didn't think that
anyone would understand until you opened up and shared
your painful past with me. Then the wounds that I kept
hidden were touched by heaven's hand Because God used you
and all you have been through. Don't hide the scars ---
Don't be afraid to let them show. 'Cause someone who
hurts will see themselves in you There's healing in
knowing you are not the only one You can touch another's
heart Don't hide the scars. Everyone must go though dark
nights of the soul. And bear the pain and all the wounds
that life can bring --- For in the worst of times, we
need the strength of another --- With God's love flowing
through them, we can find the faith we need. So no matter
where you stood, it all works out for good.

Life!
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our
lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without
any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as
strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
I asked for Strength........ And God gave me Difficulties
to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom......... And God gave me Problems to
solve.
I asked for Prosperity......... And God gave me Brain and
Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage......... And God gave me Danger to
overcome.
I asked for Love......... And God gave me Troubled people
to help.
I asked for Favors........ And God gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ....... I received everything
I needed!
May God Bless You with unspeakable joy, not only in the
world to come, but in this world also. May your path be
bright and full of light everywhere you go.
May God tell darkness that it must flee at your command.
And, I pray your feet will never stumble out of God's
plan.
May the desires of your heart come true, And may you
experience Peace in everything you do.
May Goodness, Kindness, and Mercy come your way. And, may
you gain Wisdom and grow in the Lord everyday.

What is the center verse in the Bible? (Answer - Psalms
118:8)
Does this verse say something significant about God's
perfect will for our lives? The next time someone says
they would like to find God's perfect will for their
lives and that they want to be in the center of His will,
just send them to the center of His Word!
Psalms 118:8 (NKJV)
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put
confidence in man."
Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the
center of it)?

ETERNITY
Author Unknown
I stood with God on the edge of the world, and my hand
was in His hand.
I looked down the road of the past, as it stretched away
in the dim distance,
Till it was shrouded in the mists of time.
I knew it had no beginning,
And a little chill wind of fear blew about my head.
God asked, 'Are you afraid?'
And I said, 'Yes, because I cannot understand
How there can be no beginning.'
So God said, 'Let us turn and face the other way.'
And I looked into glory, and my heart rejoiced with a joy
unspeakable.
And then my mind went ahead a billion, billion years,
And I knew there would be no end.
And again that little chill wind of fear began to blow.
And God asked me again, "Are you afraid?'
And I answered, 'A little, because I cannot understand
How there can be no end.
So God asked me tenderly,
"Are you afraid now, today, with your hand in mine?'
And I looked up at Him and smiled and replied,
'O my Father, no!'
And God said 'Every day in eternity will be today!'
