The thought of the future life with its prerogatives and joys helps to make the trials of the present seem light and transient.

Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.

The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.

The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.

When we live apart from God, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with God. But if we live in tune with the Master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by His beautiful music. As this new year begins, ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.

Only God can give us a selfless love for others, as the Holy Spirit changes us from within. This is one reason we must receive Christ, for apart from His Spirit we can never be freed from the chains of selfishness, jealousy, and indifference. Will others see Christ's love in your life today?

Having knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.
