"It is not my responsibility in what form God answers my questions for guidance. That, is quite safe in His hands. The only thing that I know is that God is light, and not darkness. Those who trust Him, He does not leave in darkness. He is a very, very good shepherd."
- Corrie ten Boom
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.
Lonely and alone, discouraged and empty hearted
That's when a man needs a brother
When the burden is heavy, the load too much to bear
That's when a man needs a brother
When in despair, and needing someone to care
That's when a man needs a brother
When the strong arm on your shoulders make the tears flow free
That's when a man needs a brother

"My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Savior."
