The Lost Get Found
– Brit Nicole
Hello my friend, I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes then the light
That you had in your heart was stolen
Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin' ...I'm talkin' to me
Chorus: Don't let your lights go down, don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now? Don't be afraid to stand out...
That's how the lost get found; the lost get found
So when you get the chance are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin' ...Love is calling you
Chorus
Why do we go with the flow or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way, love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way
Reading through the Bible together in a year. The numbers following the name of the book refers to whole chapters, so you may want to think of splitting each day into morning and evening readings. Try to share what God shows you throughout the week with someone else (Co-worker, neighbor, family member, etc.)

A Few Inspirational Quotes to Ponder and Use for Motivation
It
is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there
is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually
strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst,
if he fails, at l...east fails while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know
neither victory nor defeat.
-Theodore
Roosevelt (April 23, 1910)
“Men {and women} are God's
method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for
better men {and women}....What the church needs today is not more
machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel
methods, but men {and women} whom the Holy Ghost can use –
{people} of prayer, {people} mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does
not come on machinery, but on men {and women}. He does not anoint
plans, but {people} – {people} of prayer....The training of
the twelve was the great, difficult and enduring work of
Christ....It is not great talents or great learning or great
preachers that God needs, but {people} great in holiness, great in
faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God -{people}
always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of
it. These can mold a generation for God.
- E. M. Bounds
