I have a gift, called friends from God
They give me courage
They give me love, reminding me
Of when a flower begins to open
Or a waterfall touches the sea, all
My friends are as beautiful as these.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: ‘Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease’?

Help me Dear Lord, this day of yours
To battle my troubles and strives this day.
Bring me the light in my heart that you have given to me
And let your presence be evermore.

When days are dark and nights are long
and your faith is fading,
look up there is a ray of hope.
The Father of light is calling you
by your name from above.

When your strength is failing
and you are faltering in your faith
pause for a moment, take a deep breath
and God your Father who is the source
of your strength, will refresh and re-kindle your faith.

The day has come and I’m going home
I’ll see my savior on His throne
Up up and away, in the air I’m gliding
With the elect of the Lord, I’m so happy, I’m excited!

Prayers are very powerful. The devil smiles when we are weak, he laughs when we are too busy, he giggles when we are afraid but he trembles when we pray. So, pray always!

When Lord, I asked
Will my salvation be?
In prison, prison of mind,
Enslaved and shackled
By agony.

I come to you everyday,
and bow my head in prayer.
I ask that you’ll forgive my sins,
and show me that you care.

I praise you Lord and lift you up,
for you are all to me.
If not for you then what I am,
I would never be.
