II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
SINCERITY is easy to live! KINDNESS is like unto an oil which lubricates the machine of your daily grind that its previous growl may transform to a melody. UNSELFISHNESS is a joy to live, for, unless your heart is stone, you will rejoice in the JOY your unselfishness brings to others! HONESTY is a must, for treachery adds but another warp to your own soul which will – sooner or later – catapult you into grief and disillusionment! TRUTH is the Pattern from above; distortion, the one from beneath: either of which will mold your life unto grief and despair or success and joy triumphant.
GOODNESS, Truth and Righteousness – these are no idle sentiments, but factual VERITIES IN THE BEING OF GOD: to which if a man will conform, it shall lift him from the failure and commonplace to that of A PRINCE OF GOD, CAUSED TO RIDE THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH!
Wherefore He commanded us to look unto the SHEEP, that at the close of the day's grazing, we should again COME INTO HIM to honestly and sincerely finely break up the day's experience and expressions – FOR THE GOOD OF OUR SOUL and future growth! Maybe you wonder why your spiritual development is no faster than it is. Perhaps you grieve because you are not a spiritual giant, master over every condition and propensity....
"We are sheep," said the Lord. Not only to find LIFE in Him, but to again go out into the world for PASTURE. And having found it, to again return INTO HIM that the spiritual essence of the day's grazing may be fully appropriated!
