Some say they bask in the comfort of God. Some say they obtain energy from Love. Others say they take whatever Life gives them and deals with it. True strength means taking everything in your stride and accepting things for what they are.
"May the Lord grant me the strength to change the things I can change, and intelligence to know what I cannot change. And the wisdom to know the difference between them."
If everyone can do this, the world would be less chaotic. If God were to exist, I know not what He would think about the world now. Perhaps as omnipotent and omniscient as He is, He chose not to reveal himself in order to let us humans guide ourselves to the path of salvation. That is, if we choose to believe in Him, of course.
If one were to believe in God, then one would believe in the Devil as well. I am of the idea that God and the Devil exists within everyone of us. Everytime we do something bad/evil/not good, the Devil within us has gained control. When we suppress those dark thoughts and actions, the God within us is in control. It is a never-ending battle which determines your actions.
If one draws strength from Love, then take care that it is not a misguided Love. For I have seen examples of many who did unreasonable things due to misguided Love. How do we differentiate from True Love and Misguided Love? We can separate True Love into many parts. They may include: Friendship, Family, your Love Partner or perhaps just a general Love.
It is the truth when I say that many do not experience True Love in this convoluted world. When I am around my friends, however, I feel that the future may yet hold some hope...
So tell me, where do you draw your strength from? It doesn't matter.
Love Life, Love Yourself, Love Friends, Love everything around you. May the metaphysical beings guide your path to Happiness...

Found this in my friends' post and find every bit of it interesting. Surely what he has to say is true enough, but to answer his question
Is it truly that everyday on Saturday service we enjoy life, or with friends can we really say that, that is the life we've been waiting for?
Solomon with all his wisdom and riches still saw to it that everything was of a waste of time, to see that every act done in this world will disappear and everything we've worked for is as of chasing the wind. ( Ecclesiastes 1:14)
I think truly that everyday to live on is a blessing for there is really God's love in the midst of desperation.
today is a gift, that's why it's called a present
love as the bible says it,
is not a relationship not an emotion but a decision where love is patient and kind, not self seeking and not rude, it always protects hopes and trusts. (1 corinthians 13:4)so to say to love ain't easy at all.
it's easy to say that things aren't there when we can't see it but true faith is believing without seeing. And not so many in the world can do that,
but there is a promise that
If we bask in hope, we will soar on the wings of and eagle where we will run and not grow weary we will walk and not falter (Isaiah 40:31) and this is the truth. As King Solomon would conclude his findings of wisdom, the very gift of life should be enjoyed and lived to the full ( from where my bible limits are) . to live to the full, will require another long post, but it's a promise that keeps me hanging on knowing that there is life for the insignificant life itself at the very end of the tunnel.
note, some of the bible versus were changed in accordance to the fluency of this post, please refer to the NIV version for my guidance tq.
no animals was hurt during th process either, All the best God Bless
