In the meantime, our hearts have the peace which He supplies, and we can be happy even in times of suffering and persecution, because we have the assurance of salvation that comes with believing and accepting Christ as our personal Savior.”

O man, arrange your state of soul
as long as the clock is still going;

Not through art, or money, or respect of man.”
