A patient willingness to defer dividends is a hallmark of individual maturity.

As we come closer to Him, we not only "stand all amazed"-we even kneel all amazed!

Obviously, family values mirror our personal priorities. Given the gravity of current conditions, would parents be willing to give up just one outside thing, giving that time and talent instead to the family.

The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.

When our minds really catch hold of the significance of Jesus' atonement, the world's hold on us loosens.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves not only for what you are now but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, You will have some great adventures. You will live in a time where instead of sometimes being fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit.

God’s grace will cover us like a cloak-enough to provide for survival but too thin to keep out all the cold.
