"As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;"
(Psalm 103:15-17~KJV)
----
God's mercy never fails, they are "new every morning" (Lamentations 3:22-23). This verse, I feel really does put things into perspective. I mean it is true, even non believers can say, "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow...yes I could die". But we read that God is not like that. He is on a totally different level than we are, and yet, He is willing to give us another chance, everyday. Honestly, who in the world right now could do that? I mean, forgive and forget, every day??? Goodness!! Who can do that? We are all humans, I'm sorry, but nobody, and I mean nobody, is that nice... ;)
Buuutttt, God is better, and He knows that. However, do we know that? As Christians, do we understand that we don't have to do it all? So when we were saved by Christ, that is what happened, we were saved. We must remember to surrender all. And it is hard, being something completely different from the world, would never be easy. But that is why He is God, and we are human.
God will give us the strength to be the Christian He wants us to be.
Always look to God.
Put Him first.

This is what happens when we have GOD on our side.
PSALM 91 (NLT)
Okay, so I was going to put like snippets of verses that I thought you guys would like, but then literally the whole chapter is soooo good, so yes, I will be putting down the entire chapter. It is not that long, but honestly every verse has something so beautiful and special. So go ahead and comment on your favourite verses!!!
1Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2This I declare about the lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
9If you make the lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12They will hold you up with their hands
so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
13You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14The lord says, "I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation."

GOD IS WITH US
And after reading something like that, I literally feel like I can conquer the entire world (for a good cause of course ;).
