"If God cares for a sparrow...how will he care for the purchase of the blood of Christ? One soul is worth more than all the world. For one soul Jesus would have passed through the agony of Calvary that that one might be saved in his kingdom. 'Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.' " Ellen G. White, The Review and Herald, May 3, 1892.

'We lose many and rich blessings because we neglect to seek the Lord with humble hearts. When we come to Him in sincerity of heart, asking Him to reveal our defects, He will show us a true picture of ourselves, reflected in the mirror of His Word.

But thank God Jesus did come and did die, for us, and did rise again and is in heaven right now pleading our case before the Father. By accepting and believing in Him, we will have eternal life with Christ and therefore don't mind the temporary suffering we experience here on this earth. In lite of eternity, this life is but a flicker and won't be remembered any longer. Come Lord Jesus!
