We Should Teach, Particularly Ourselves,

A Friend Is A Possession We Earn, Not A Gift. ....the Lord Has Declared That Those Who Serve Him And Keep His Commandments Are Called His Servants. After They Have Been Tested And Tried And Are Found Faithful And True In All Things, They Are Called No Longer Servants, But Friends. His Friends Are The Ones He Will Take Into His Kingdom And With Whom He Will Associate In An Eternal Inheritance.

God Knows The Feelings In Every Human Heart. He Can Soften Sorrow And Lead When There Seems To Be No Light. Prayer Can Give Guidance And Confidence. It Reminds Us That No One Need Be Alone In This World. If All Else Fails, Remember, God And One Other Person Can Be A Family.

True Love Is A Process. True Love Requires Personal Action.

As Adults, If Our Top Priorities Are Constantly Directed Toward The Acquisition Of More And Better Worldly Goods, It Will Not Take Long To Increase Our Love In Those Directions. The Purchase Of A Larger House Or A Nicer Car Or A More Expensive Boat May Cause Us To Sacrifice Our Resources And Develop An Unwise Love For These Symbols Of Success And Pleasure. We Learn To Love That Which We Serve, And We Serve That Which We Love.

Shaking Off Restrictive Chains Requires Action. They Cannot Be Wished Away. A Declaration Will Never Break Chains. It Requires Commitment, Self-discipline, And Work.
