With one eye on today's blessings you will have more staying power for the distant goal.

The Lord doesn't put us through this test just to give us a test: He does it because the process will change us.

Jesus Christ lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us. In moments of pain, loneliness, or confusion, we do not need to see Jesus Christ to know that He is aware of our circumstances and that His mission is to bless.

Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family.

Conversion brings a drive to learn.

No one who strives with full faith and heart for the blessings of eternal life will be denied. And how great will be the joy and how much deeper the appreciation then after enduring in patience and faith now.

Each of us, whatever our talents, has service to give. And to do it well always involves learning, not once or for a limited time, but continually.
