Discouraged? Read these Words

From the Song, "His Eye is on the Sparrow".


Why should I feel discouraged,
why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.


Refrain:


I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.


“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;


Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.


Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Now, Listen to the song.

Feeling like everyone is against you?

Let me tell you, you’re not alone.


I feel that way sometimes… I think lots of people do. The world can seem like a big-cold-hard-uncaring-place, but that doesn’t mean we can’t face it.


We can be strong.


Today someone was telling me how stupid I am because I said I needed more intelligence on a particular topic.


I didn’t let it bother me though because, although I may be lacking some intelligence on particular subjects, I do have a measure of wisdom in my admission.


I told that fellow that “people who say they know everything, only prove they know nothing“.


So, when people turn on you, remember who they are and ask yourself, should the opinions of unwise (ignorant) people matter? I say it doesn’t.
