Jesus is the Joy of the Living Alfred Ackley song and I am amazed song

Jesus is the Joy of the Living 

1 I have found a wondrous Saviour,

Jesus Christ, The Soul's Delight;

Ev'ry blessing of His favor

Fills my heart with hope so bright.

Chorus:

Jesus is the Joy of Living,

He's the Kng of Life to me;

Unto Him my all I'm giving,

His forevermore to be.

I will do what He commands me,

Anywhere He leads 'll go;

Jesus is the Joy of Living,

He's the dearest Friend I know.

2 Life is growing rich with beauty,

toil has lost its weary strain,

Now a halo crowns each duty,

And I sing a glad refrain. [Chorus]

3 Heav'nly wisdom He provides me,

Grace to keep my spirit free;

In His own sweet way he guides me

When the path I cannot see. [Chorus]

4 O what splendor, O what glory,

O what matchless pow'r divine,

Is the Christ of Gospel story,

Christ, the Saviour, who is mine. [Chorus]

I am amazed. 

我真希奇，神竟是道樣愛我—

盡是羞恥，滿有各樣罪過！

主名權能，使我得完全潔淨；

祂又召我走屬天的路程。

（副）我真希奇，神竟願意來救我，

十架功效竟能除我罪過！

因信基督，祂賜我永遠生命，

祂今居衷，永遠與我向行。

二 我真希奇，神竟降卑賜福我—

作神後嗣，承受恩典廣博！

祂為尋求祂者豫備福分，

直到祂完全估有我全人。

三 我真希奇，神竟樂賜我救恩，

甘願拯救一切求告的人！

藉此無比奇妙福音的傅揚，

永遠生命普及萬族、萬邦。

Kind of Translation: 

I'm amazed that God was actually kind of track I love -

Full of shame, full of all sorts of sin!

His name power, so I have to completely clean;

He has called me to go heavenly journey.

(Deputy) I'm amazed that God actually willing to save me,

In addition to the effectiveness of escape ten of my transgressions!

By faith in Christ, He gives me eternal life,

He now ranks Zhong, always with me to the line.

Two I really wondered, God has blessed me humble -

Heirs of God, to withstand extensive grace!

He shall prepare thy blessings to those who seek Him,

His perfect estimate until I have the whole person.

C I really wondered, God has given me salvation music,

Willing to save all that call on people!

Well.

You know, it's those moments in life where your head hits the floor- over and over again. The truth is- there is no motivating factor to get work done except just to do it. Lately, I haven't been motivated to do anything except to buy coffee to attempt to help me get through the rigorous work. Well, it seems that if I sit at my computer enough and drink enough coffee, I seem to start getting work done. I always expect to get a lot done- but the truth is sometimes thinking takes the most time of all. I guess I shouldn't be surprised- but sometimes I feel like I don't have time to think about these things- but then again- i don't have much time at all. 

Time. 

Time. 

Time. 

It all passes in time. 

Well, lately I've been kind of in a weird attitude. I am feeling weird because I found out I have that fibroma on my femural head- and it's painful- but you know- somedays I don't think it's too horrible. I just wish I could work out- I feel like I'm going to gain weight if I don't work out- and it really bothers me so then I don't want to eat- but if I don't eat then I can't focus on my work. 

Well, life is just complicated.

Complicated.

Complicated.

Complicated. 

It all passes, eventually, in time. 

So- I think there is light at the end of the tunnel. At least I hope so. I know that I need to get this work done, but it just feels like everytime I think about it- it's like a brick laid across my chest- and I can't breathe and I can't even do the work- well that's how I feel- and then I feel like I can't do it.
It's the first time I've felt like I can't do this. I don't know why I feel like it. 

Too many, expectations.

Expectations.

Expectations.

Expectations. 

They all pass, too, in time. 

Well, Time complications expectations and expectations complicate time. 

But what is it that we all want to pass- the feeling really. The feeling of confusion, of the unknowing, of the feeling that says I can't i can't i can't... that's what it is... 

It's the feelings we deal with that- that pushhhhhhhhhhhhhhh us forward
or h-o-l-d-u-s-b-a-c-k..........................

so

Well, I could use some pushing forward right now. I really could. I just have to wait on God- I just don't know what I'm supposed to be doing now.

Something More

Everyone wants something more in life. More money, more success, more peace, more relaxation, more freedom, more... 

Yet- it's in the time of more- that we stop and ask ourselves if we will ever truly be content. 
For when we receive more of something, we tend to talk about the things we wish we had more of. 
The truth is- in this life- we may have more and we may have less- we may be sick or we may be well- we may be lonely or we may have too many friends... 

but then we can remember the words of the apostle Paul who said, 

" Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance andneed. I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Philipians 4:11-13

It's the strength of the Lord that helps us continue on in every circumstance. :) So, it's important to carry that joy with us in all moments. :) 

Still in verse 14 he goes on to say:

"Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble"- which I think speaks to how important it is to have supportive people in your life. God made us in a world of people for a reason. We don't have to be alone in our troubles, but if we do find ourselves feeling alone- we can know that Jesus is always with us- so we don't have to be on our own. ^^

Lately, I feel like I have been experiencing the meaning of the verse psalm 27:14 "Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!" 

Sometimes difficult times come, but if we wait on the Lord, he is sure to come through for us. ^^ Trusting him is the most important part- and waiting patiently. Waiting waiting on the Lord. 

He is with us- Immanuel

Do we believe that Jesus is Lord over all? Do you believe that Jesus is the sovereign Lord in our lives, whom leads us and directs us into all truth- and the knowledge of him? Then, we need to stand upon his promises and trust his leading and direction in our life. Despite what other things may be swirling around us- we must remain firm and stand upon His promises. It's interesting that whenever Jesus is going to be doing something extraordinary in someone's life (for example, Mary and birth of Jesus, Hannah and birth of son... etc etc.) , Jesus always sends a word saying "Do not fear"- so if you are going through a circumstance in which you are experiencing something that may cause your heart to worry or fear- remember that Jesus is the sovereign Lord and He has extraordinary plans for your life- so instead of being tempted to worry- instead bring your concerns to the Lord and rest in His unfailing love and mercy that is comforting and abounding. He loves us with an everlasting love and He is sure to continue to guide our future. :)

*Rest in his peace and his great mercy and love today*
