Morsels of wisdom
“Fortune does not change men; it unmasks them.” Quoted by Madame Necker
I would agree with this statement having seen the world around me and how it affects people. To be released from all financial worries brings an open door of opportunity to use your time and money for something of worth. Most of what I have observed so far is people turn away from this door and open one to selfish endeavors.
Living a selfless life is not an easy thing to do and I am always in awe when I come across someone who makes it look simple.

There’s no need to say a thing when I’m before you.
In this silence I feel refreshed with peace.
Break this noise that binds the voice that tries to speak.
Open my eyes to see Your gracious, sovereign reach.
It’s hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it’s the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You’ve calmed my fears.
I know that You’ve washed my tears.
The seasons of change I’ve faced have never left me wounded.
Only scars of hurt, but never deeply rooted.
This healing I have felt, no burden can replace.
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain.
It’s hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it’s the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You’ve calmed my fears.
I know that You’ve washed my tears.
All is lost without the breath of life You give, and You give so much.
I want nothing more than You, so here’s my heart
It’s hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it’s the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You’ve calmed my fears.
I know that You’ve washed my tears.
