Christ gives us inner strength to handle both prosperity and adversity...
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
- Philippians 4:13
"When I come to the end of my rope, God is there to take over."
I am a believer of the view that Life is of essence if used in service to God. And, that over all the human endeavors that we all do, it is our service that MATTERS THE MOST.
To be a man of God and to be a man of others is not a bad Philosophy at all.
