When a man falls on his knees and stretches his hands heavenward, he is doing the most natural thing in the world.

I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.

Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

Yet if we would know God and for other's sake tell what we know we must try to speak of his love. All Christians have tried but none has ever done it very well. I can no more do justice to that awesome and wonder-filled theme than a child can grasp a star. Still by reaching toward the star the child may call attention to it and even indicate the direction one must look to see it. So as I stretch my heart toward the high shining love of God someone who has not before known about it may be encouraged to look up and have hope.

God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.

God is raising up His heroes and the time will come when they will appear and the world will wonder where they came from.

What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends
