The Longer I Serve Him....the Sweeter it Goes....
Popsie called me yesterday. He doesn't usually do that coz I always initiate a call on a daily basis. It's been days though since I've called them, I guess I'm just burnt out. Popsie says he gets lonely being on his own for the long stretch of the day that Momsie's away at work. I know my calls lift him up, 'will try to get into the routine again. It's just that....
I'm tired, simply tired. Not just tired, I'm weary and it's not just physical. Dear Lord please help and lead me out of this dark tunnel!

The Longer I Serve Him
Words and music: William J. Gaither © 1965
Lead: None
Spoken Vocal: C.D. Davis
Lyrics:
Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
Spoken Vocal:
You know, it's been over 40 years since I became a servant of Jesus and in all those years, He's never once let me down. Not that I always understood everything that He was doing in my life, but I've served Him long enough to know that even when family members dissapoint you, when friends let you down, or when sickness and death fill you with despair. If you just reach out, Jesus is right there. I can look back at those valleys I've walked through and see that, even when I thought I was all alone, that Jesus was with me all the way. Truly the longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
Chorus:
The longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows
The more that I love Him, more love He bestows
Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
Since I started for the Kingdom
Since my life He controls
Since I gave my heart to Jesus
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment." Job 36:11
And I want to go back to my first LOVE, so help me dear sweet Jesus! I'd like to serve you again.
I'm tired, simply tired. Not just tired, I'm weary and it's not just physical. Dear Lord please help and lead me out of this dark tunnel!

Hi Ate-Tulipya! Kumusta naman daw sina Popsie & Momsie mo? Hope & pray for his complete recovery, and God bless your Momsie too! How uplifting, the song & spoken vocal also minister to me!
Ikaw, kumusta ka na? God's grace is always with you... but since you're human, yung burn-out mo now is most probably overfatigue (physical & emotional) from what your family just went through... I know you know the verses below, but I do hope & pray God will use them now to inspire you... God bless! :)
Isaiah 40:28-31 (NIV)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
