It is nothing.

R. C. SproulHe is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness.

R. C. SproulWe are able to persevere only because God works within us, within our free wills. And because God is at work in us, we are certain to persevere.
