courage is such a beautiful thing but with it there comes a maturity

you risk things. it's a moving on from the childish ways to the mature ways

the way of which we know the cost, but still continue to strain forward because we know what is before us is far more glorious, and more like the One that made us.

imagine people obeying God without any measuring of reward

though there will be and in itself will find it to be a reward in itself-to obey God

but for His people to obey him no matter the cost or gain

cuz we know He's good.  He's that good.

can't wait for Your return
