“There's an old Graham Kendrick song that says, "All I once held dear, built my life upon, all this world reveres and wars to own, all I once thought gain I have counted loss, Spent and worthless now compared to this...knowing Jesus." That pretty much sums it up.”

“we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory...We can rejoice too when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with love." (Romans 5:1-5)”

“Don't let your hearts be troubled...I am going to prepare a place for you. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am." (John 14:1-3)”
