Faith is loved and honored by God more than any other single thing.

God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.

God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness.
