GOD'S GIFTS TO ME

If I ever wrote down a list of God's gifts to me, I would have to compose a book. Everything and everybody, whatever I may mention, is a gift of God for a definite purpose. All things, not just some things, are in my life for God's good reasons. In one way or another, they are meant to help me earn the unending happiness and glory of Heaven. I must reject any person or thing that leads me away from this goal by sin. All things are to be used wisely; that is, to help me live a good and useful life. By an intelligent use and control of life's daily needs and activities. I prove my sincere desire for God's eternal love and friendship in Heaven.

HOLINESS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Once I get a full view of this earthly life, I will see how all-important a part God plays in it. Instead of living for the moment or for the next few years, I will live for my highest and most important goal. I will see the unending importance of what I am doing today, I will understand how each act of this day helps me become a little more ready for heaven. Only sin is foolish. Only sin is bad. All else is good and pleasing to God because it helps me in one way or another.

Only in God will my soul be at rest,
From Him comes my hope, my salvation!
He alone is my rock of safety,
my strength, my glory, my God!
