1 Corinthians 1:26-31 .Matthew 13:44-46

Even the longest life is short, the Father's Kingdom is for ever. Time is for development of character and personality and for growth in holiness in the soul and for active participation in the Father's Kingdom in His world according to His will and loving purpose. Whether the beloved son or daughter's time is short or long is not important. Faithfulness and obedience in love and self-giving are the salient qualities of those whom men call saints. For it is written "the faithful in love shall abide in Him for ever: those who have put their trust in Him shall understand that He is true".

This promise and this prize is offered to each child of man in the power of our saving, sanctifying love and through the light and guiding of our loving Holy Spirit.
