It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.

I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, "My body is my own!" I stand in admiration of women today who resist the "fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!"

Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing!

Our God is a God of love. He waits with open arms, and the unfolding of His merciful plan of salvation is not only therefore the mark of divine power but also the mark of God's relentless, redeeming love. It is a point well worth pondering because, among other reasons, it will help us to understand better why God, through the prophets, denounces sin and corruption in such scalding terms. He loves all of us, His spirit sons and daughters, but hates our vices. His denunciation of those vices may, if we are not careful, seem to obscure the enormous and perfect love He has for us.

Unproductive worry - like Parkinson's proverbial law - tends to expand to fill the time available.

In a very real sense, all we need to know is that God knows all.

God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.
