Onward to that FINAL VICTORY,
with HIGH-HEARTED HOPE!
Monday, January 9, 2017
"As we enter upon each new year, therefore, let it be with high-hearted hope. Here it is before us, a God-given opportunity. This span of days and the experiences which it is to bring have been planned by Providence as a means of grace and blessing to us. Despite all failure in the past, then, we will believe that the coming year is full of good for us; that pleasant and unpleasant things, duties hard and duties easy, trials and sorrows and temptations and surprises and disappointments and apparent failures, will prove to be God's means of bringing us to that final victory which above all other goods we most heartily desire."
