Don't Believe Everything You Think.

Truth Is We Must Plant And We Must Water If We Are To Make Progress With Our Children In Holiness But Only The Holy Spirit Can Change Our Children More And More Into The Likeness Of Jesus. Our Problem Is We Tend To Depend Upon Our Planting And Watering Rather Than The Lord.

God Does Not Delight In Our Sufferings. He Brings Only That Which Is Necessary, But He Does Not Shrink From That Which Will Help Us Grow.

From Our Limited Vantage Point, Our Lives Are Marked By An Endless Series Of Contingencies. We Frequently Find Ourselves, Instead Of Acting As We Planned, Reacting To An Unexpected Turn Of Events. We Make Plans But Are Often Forced To Change Those Plans. But There Are No Contingencies With God. Our Unexpected, Forced Change Of Plans Is A Part Of His Plan. God Is Never Surprised; Never Caught Off Guard; Never Frustrated By Unexpected Developments. God Does As He Pleases And That Which Pleases Him Is Always For His Glory And Our Good.

The Person Who Fears God Seeks To Live All Of Life To The Glory Of God... All The Activities Of Life Should Be Pursued With The Aim Of Glorifying God.

The Holy Spirit Makes Us Aware Of Our Lack Of Holiness To Stimulate Us To Deeper Yearning And Striving For Holiness. But Satan Will Attempt To Use The Holy Spirit’s Work To Discourage Us.
