Yes, getting things right with God centres on being thoughtful of things that add both physical and spiritual values.

Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will…
Steven McDonald said: “I often tell people that the only thing worse than a bullet in my spine would have been to nurture revenge in my heart. Such an attitude would have extended my tragic injury into my soul, hurting my wife, son, and others even more.

Yes, before the fall, Adam had God’s righteousness on him, and enable him to walk with God without any condemnation.

Sadhu Sundar Singh said: “Whether we like it or not, we will encounter suffering and danger in our lives. If we do not bear the cross of the Master, we will have to bear the cross of the world – with all its earthly goods.

It is human instinct to be excessively optimistic about what future days hold. *2.* It is anything but difficult to brag about tomorrow, particularly with our cutting edge self-importance of continuous advancement. *3.* We don’t have the foggiest idea what tomorrow may hold, so we ought to have a modest demeanor towards what’s to come. *4.* Glad for us is that our eyes can’t enter the thick shroud which God hangs between us and tomorrow.
In the Gospel of John, an all-important phrase, spoken by Jesus, repeatedly asserted the “I AM” seven times.

Madeleine L’Engle said: “We are all going to die, and I suppose whether it is sooner or later makes little difference in eternity, for eternity is total is-ness, immediacy, now-ness. Living in eternity is, in fact, the way we are supposed to live all the time, right now, in the immediate moment, not hanging on to the past, not projecting into the future.
