If you have knowledge…
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.”

When we realize…

If we are devoted…

This World
…is a broken place, but God is the Great Healer.

Do you take yourself more seriously than God does? Surely, He looks down on us with merciful amusement at some of the things we do in our self-importance.
