“Seeking - really seeking - is more than just reading a few verses from the Bible in the morning and trying to be a good person that day. Seeking requires me to sacrifice the things I feel compelled to chase so I can be available to notice God’s clear direction. Whatever we chase, like it or not, gains our full attention.

“Giving consistent effort in the little things in day-to-day life leads to true greatness. Specifically, it is the thousands of little deeds and tasks of service and sacrifice that constitute the giving or losing of one's life for others and for the Lord. They include gaining a knowledge of our Father in Heaven and of the gospel. They also include bringing others into the faith and fellowship of his kingdom. These things do not usually receive the attention or the adulation of the world.... .” WorldGivingLittlesFatherHeavenEffortAttentionLordSacrificeGreatnessLosingTasksDeedsKingdomsConsistentLittle ThingsDay To DayFellowshipOur FatherDay LifeFather In HeavenDay To Day LifeAdulationTrue GreatnessService And Sacrifice Author:Howard W.

“It is a great tragedy when those who are afflicted with adversity or a source of hopelessness turn their backs on prayer. To their peril, they ignore that spiritual lifeline just at the time when their attention to it most needs to be intensified. By so doing they cut themselves of from revelation and inspiration and deprive themselves of hearing the Lord's voice. They give up the prospect of gaining the very hope and comfort for which their hearts yearn.” NeedsGivingHeartInspirationSpiritualTurnsVoicePrayerAttentionLordCuttingSourceComfortGiving UpTragedyAdversityHearingRevelationsSpiritual LifeHopelessnessPerilGreat TragedyLifelines Author:David S.
