A Final Word


Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye.

Proverbs 7:2 (NAS)


Love ... does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.

I Corinthians 13:6 (NAS)


I write my thoughts every morning in a journal, and here I am down to my last entry. The last page and the last words for this volume must certainly speak of priorities ... of something of highest importance. I can think of two: love and truth. It’s what Jesus spoke of so often, and it’s what is on my heart today. To love truthfully and to truly love God and His word. It’s my desire for life and it’s my heartfelt challenge for all who read these words: Live and love in truth.


Father God, may we rejoice in Your perfect will. Amen.
