God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness.
I would not want to live in any other period.
Heavenly rest will be so refreshing that we will never feel that exhaustion of mind and body we so frequently experience now. I'm really looking forward to that.
All my life I've been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.
Sin then is not a toy with which to play but a terror to be shunned.
Even when life may be difficult, we should thank God for all He does for us-which we do not deserve.
