Author F. W. Robertson penned these inspiring words regarding the "reward" that awaits each of us, when we choose to live a "wise" life, following our heavenly Father:

"Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more; a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love: for love is Heaven - love is God within you." As each of us is promised, "I am thy great reward."

Recipe For Greatness

"To bear up under loss;

To fight the bitterness of defeat

and the weakness of grief;

To be victor over anger;

To smile when tears are close;

To resist disease and evil men

and base instincts;

To hate hate and love love;

To go on when it would seem good to die;

To look up with unquenchable faith in

something ever more about to be;

That is what any (woman) can do,

and be great."

Zane Grey
