My faith looks up to thee

The words below from this popular hymn resonated with me. Timeless and true, see the full hymn here.

May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be, a living fire!

While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside.

~ "My Faith Looks Up To Thee", written by Ray Palmer, 1830.

May our faith keep trusting in God's sovereign grace. Amen

Happy New Year!

Happy new year dear readers! A lot has happened since I last posted on here, but I’ll spare you the details because you are not here to keep up with my personal life.

What can mere mortals do to me?”” (Hebrews 13:6) Reading this inspired great courage in me to achieve remarkable things this year, to let go of my fears and to not be held down by the opinions of others. That’s...

Prologue- Memoirs of A Skilled Hunter

Dawn was drawing close. The gentle breeze came as a consolation, symphatising with the wild for bearing with the downpour that befell the night. This time, the predator walked along an unusual path, the rays of sun bouncing off the shy green of wet leaves providing a source of illumination to its glowing eyes. It had spotted prey and now it was calculating the next move... I hadn't seen her in ages. I watched intently as she made her way towards me, her hips swinging graciously from side-to-side, her movement emphasized by the frills on her flowery gown, accentuating her hourglass figure. It's been 10 years since I last saw her and it seemed every part of her body, visible to my eyes, had been renovated in heaven time and time again. She had become much more attractive, she was beautiful. The predator studied its prey. Well-hidden by the shadows cast by the tall fruitless trees, it was being careful. Avoiding every broken b...

I am Second.

Hi. I am FeyVored. I have been called to seek the Kingdom of God and righteousness, FIRST, before anything else. Anything at all; whether it be fame, money or even recognition. This is my resolve, and every thing that I may write here to inspire you must FIRST come from God. I am a servant. I am not the one that eyes should be set on. I look to THE ONE who gained the victory. I place God first. As for me, I am Second. For more testimonies, visit http://www.iamsecond.com/
