For those of you out there today who have already been through hard times and are desperate for a word of encouragement, let me assure you that you can trust this Lord of heaven and earth. Remember that Scripture warns us to “lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

Your most precious memories will focus on those you loved, those who loved you, and what you did together in the service of the Lord.

22. Faith in God is like believing a man can walk over Niagara Falls on a tightrope while pushing a wheelbarrow. Trust in God is like getting in the wheelbarrow! To believe God can do something miraculous is one thing; to risk His willingness to do it in your life is another.

Ask yourself what you will care about when everything is on the line.

2. Christian education places its emphasis on “unity” in relationships between people.
