Every Good Thing Comes From God.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Every good thing comes from God.
Blessing fills our daily lives,
from the air in our lungs to the people in our lives.
Instead of being bogged down by comparison and worry
over a world we are not in control of,
we can stride by stride follow Christ in the pocket of the world
He has purposefully placed us in.
No matter what is going on in the world,
we can wake each day to pray
and spend time in God's word.
We can love the people in our lives,
and serve our communities with the unique gifts we've been given.

When we set our lives to be channels of Christ's love,
He is faithful to remind us of our many blessings.
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

"Authentic discipleship may exact from you
the highest price relationally and the highest price physically, "
John Piper definitively explains.

Even in the painful and trying times of life,
living within the love of Christ is incredible.
