우리는 하나님이 우리를 건강하고 부유하며 행복하게 하시는 데에만 관심이 있다고 생각하는 미숙한 단계를 넘어서야 한다. 하나님이 우리를 위해 원하시는 바는 그보다 훨씬 더 광대하다. 그는 우리가 지혜롭고, 성숙하며, 순종적이고, 담대하고, 또한 헌신적이길 원하신다. 요컨대 그리스도를 닮길 원하시는 것이다. 그런데 그리스도를 닮는 길은 역경의 광야와 연결되어 있다
**역경은 힘을 길러준다(p21)
"아무리 할 일이 많다 하여도 하루에 적어도 세 시간을 기도하지않으면 어떤 일도 제대로 이루지 못한다" ... 그는 자신이 모든 것을 하나님의 지도 아래 복종시키지 않으면 옳지 못한 일에 시간을 낭비하게 되리라는 것을 알고 있었다. ...
하지만 그의 글들은 우리가 '필요한'사람들이라는 생각을 품지 못하도록 주의를 주고. 더 많은 기도로 자신의 소명을 끊임없이 재발견해야 한다는 것을 상기시켜준다.

Stay close by my side Keep your eyes on me Though this life is hard I will give you perfect peace In this time of trial Pain that no one sees Trust me when i say And, i will give you perfect peace And you'll never walk alone And you'll never be in need Though i may not calm the storms around you
You can hide in me Burdens that you bear Offer no relief Let me bear your load Could I will give you perfect peace
Stay close by my side And you'll never walk alone Keep your eyes on me And you will never be in need Though this life is hard Know that i will always give you perfect peace I will give you perfect peace
Grace by Laura Story Intro: Eb Ab Eb Bb V1: Eb Ab My heart is so proud Bb Eb My mind is so unfocused Eb Ab I see the things you do through me Bb Eb As great things I have done Eb Ab But now you gently break me Bb Cm Bb And I love it where you take me Ab Eb You hold me as my Father Ab Bb And mold me as my Maker C: And I ask you Eb Ab How many times will you pick me up Bb Eb When I keep on letting you down Eb Ab And each time I will fall short of your glory Cm Bb How far will forgiveness abound? Eb Ab And You answer, “My child, I love you Cm Bb Ab And as long as you’re seeking My face Cm Bb Eb You’ll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace.” V2 (Chords same as V1): At times I may grow weak And feel a bit discouraged Knowing that someone somewhere Could do a better job But who am I to serve You When I know I don’t deserve You But that’s the part that burns in my heart And keeps me hanging on Bb Cm You are so patient with me, Lord V3 (Chords same as V1): As I walk with you, I’m learning What your grace really means The price that I could never pay Was paid at Calvary So instead of trying to repay you I’m learning to simply obey you by giving up my life to you For all that you’ve given to me
