When success is awaiting you, Nothing in life will go smooth.
Some friends and your family, will turn their backs on you. Success will make you friends, But when you’re down, they’re not around, You’re all alone, God alone will stands with you, if you trust him, he’s the only true love.
That will never change. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the lord is good, Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
