"Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear; rather look to them with full hope that, as they arise, God whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto--do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and, when you can not stand, He will bear you in His arms...The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day.

--Elisabeth Elliot, Through the Gates of Splendor

nothing in heaven which is not contained in this text-"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
