The "new" in us is bound to notice the "old" that remains.

We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.

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

The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability; and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.

Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.
