It is wonderful when the things
we want are the things we need.

focuses on the greatest need.
The seventh day for God was
the first day for man. Our first day is a day of rest.
We need to give God an empty
slate (instead of one full of what we want/need) and He will let us know
what he wants.
Jesus knew how to forget himself
and give himself.
There is no one else besides
Jesus who can pay the ransom for our souls.
When we have a struggle, God
wants us to cry, to be little, and be teachable.
We can't expect everyone else

you can get out of life.

the Lord and figure Him out, He is doing the same to us.
After finding Jesus, we need

One soul is worth more than

a part of it.
Life has a special meaning if
we are living for God.
If you are wondering about anything,
just remember that God loves you.

the attitude "What do I have to do?" but with the attitude "What can I
do?"

It would bring us great joy
to hear God say to us "You've done well."
It means so much to us to know
that someone is praying for us.
Not only do we have priviledges,
but also responsibilities...to pray, to labor, to do our part.
We don't want to examine other
people, but to examine ourselves.
The end of something can be
better than the beginning. When we leave convention, we are better
than when we arrived. Harvesting is better than planting because
there is fruit.
While on this earth, we need
to be adding to this way.
God has made this way easy enough
that anyone can walk in it, but hard enough that only the best make it
to the end.
