"In God's Eyes," by Candace Carteen of Portland, Oregon.
By the time I was ten, I was totally ashamed of my father. All my friends called him names: Quasi-Moto, hunchback, monster, little Frankenstein, the crooked little man with the crooked little cane. At first it hurt when they called him

“Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing

If God is to develop His plan in your life and you are to work at it with all your heart, then you must grow new spiritual muscle for the challenge. As a runner begins to train, his or her entire being is transformed. Within weeks of starting training the runner actually grows new capillaries.

Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers
