Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.
Whenever the Lord holds us in suspense, and delays his aid, he is not therefore asleep, but, on the contrary, regulates all His works in such a manner that he does nothing but at the proper time.

There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.
