Excel Still More

Sweet Relief.

We now know.

Our calling:
"But we urge you, brethren,
to excel still more,
and to make it your ambition
to lead a quiet life
and attend to your own business
and work with your hands,
just as we have commanded you
so that you will behave properly
towards outsiders
and not be in any need."
(I Thessalonians 4:10-12)

Our how-to:
"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity,
but of power and love and discipline."
(2 Timothy 1:7)

Thank you, God, for giving us a spirit of power and love and discipline.

I'm counting on it.
