... some day you will have to give an account for every penny you spent.

God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.

Take your eyes and your ears and your hands and your feet and your thoughts and your heart: Give them completely to Christ

Don't worry about what you can't do; focus instead on what you can do... and then do it.
