The highest place is not for kings; the Father’s realm is not of man. The lifting is of the lowly, and high hill is for the humble. He who presses upward for his own gain, gains only loss. Those pressed down to lift are the greatest of men. The scale Read more
It is in the strain. Little growth happens any other way, for I do not bring ease to those who follow. Adversity in My measure brings strength; without such there can be no growth. Even he on level ground will slow, and he who does not strive, rolls backward to Read more
Without another, there is greater struggle. The road is more difficult for he who has no friends. Temptation is better fought with the steady countenance of a faithful pair. Do not discount those called beside you. Do not lose focus of the spiritual journey, for man is called upward in Read more
