God invites us to come directly into His presence by way of His own dear Son.
From John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”
W. Phillip Keller (1920-1997) was born in Africa as the son of missionary parents. His life’s mission would allow him to become a world citizen as a photographer, agronomist, and Christian author.
As a tree by the waters grows, in spite of drought all around it, so I, by drawing upon the life of Christ, grow into His strength.
From Job 14:7-9: “For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant.”

We are identified and known by the sort of fruit, the quantity of fruit, and the quality of fruit borne out in our daily conversation, conduct, and character.
From Galatians 5:22-25: “By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

Contentment should be the hallmark of my life, as I put my affairs in the hands of God.
From 1 Timothy 6:6-8: “Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it; but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.”
