Food for Thoughts

“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)  listen to chapter  (Read by Max McLean.

Trusting God to answer Our Prayer

Came across a poem "Trusting God to answer Our Prayer"

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey
I asked God for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things
I asked for riches that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was give weakness, tat I might feel the need of God
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life
I was given life , that I might enjoy all things
I got nothing that I asked for but everything I had hope for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered
I am, among men, most richly blessed.
