So we have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord. We can’t quit and we can’t go back.

Although I may not be my brother's keeper, I am my brother's brother, and 'because I have been given much, I too must give.'

I believe we have all been created for greater things than we can comprehend.

God wants us to be stronger than we are--more fixed in our purpose, more certain of our commitments, eventually needing less coddling from Him, showing more willingness to shoulder some of the burden of His heavy load. In short, He wants us to be more like He is and, if you haven't noticed, some of us are not like that yet.

To give ourselves totally to another person, as we do in marriage, is the most trusting step we take in any human relationship.

A noble deed is a step toward God.
