Boy, This world is not your home and "This Ain't Your Crown!"

God's Boys will be good boys! When joy comes into your life, {and I do hope many joys come}you must remember this: This ain't yo crown! I love you and I would have you look deeply into the joys of life and see the hand of God, lending them to you. It is the hand of God that prospers your way. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes one rich and He adds no sorrow with it.

You are blessed with a good and god-fearing disposition and this is a trust from God. Spend yourself and your mind and your endeavors with prudence, knowing that there is a beginning and an end to them all. Each gift that you have is spent wisely or foolishly. I pray for the preservation of your heart and mind. I pray for the engagement of your faculties in that which will build a better future for us all. Lay the hammer to the anvil of swords to plowshears and see what God can do with that kind of engagement. He alone knows how the world will be bettered with right perspectives attempting to live out faith.

Praise God with as much as you have and see if He doesn't inhabit your life. He will!
