“Stand up! Stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss; From victory unto victory, His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed.

[Refrain] Stand up! For Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross, Lift high His royal banner, it must not, It must not suffer loss.

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this His glorious day, Ye that are His now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. [Refrain]

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor’s song. To Him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally. [Refrain]” Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, #618, first, second, and fourth stanzas [Different music].

Dear friends, if we’ll stand up for Jesus here, He’ll stand up for us up in heaven. Won’t He? That’s the plan.

“He asks us to be absolutely and completely for Him in this world as He is for us in the presence of God” Acts of the Apostles, page 566.

Now, I have something special on my heart tonight to share with you. It’s for everybody, but I have a few people especially in mind. And oh, I’m just so anxious that they get what we’re going to have tonight. I have two young men in mind; one of them is in his teens.

You know, I’d just give anything if those two young men could really get hold of what I’m going to present tonight.

And there are a couple of girls I have in mind, too. One of them is in her teens. I’d give anything in this world if those two girls could get hold of what I’m going to give tonight.

Another one that I have in mind is an adult with grey hair.

Now, I want everybody to get what I have tonight. If these five that I have referred to were all that I was speaking to, I wouldn’t take this platform to give the message. And you who know me know that this is the first time that I’ve ever said anything like that from this pulpit—what I’ve just said.

But I really have a great burden on my soul for some definite people. But I know that the things that some of us need are things that we can all get a blessing from, and that’s why we’re going to study these things tonight.

I’ll tell you what got me to studying what I’m going to give you tonight. It’s something that happened halfway around the world just a few weeks ago. Over in Moscow, the capital of Russia, a number of people pushed their way past the Russian guards and came into the American Embassy, and they begged for asylum. They were people that were trying to escape from Russia. They were evangelical Christians, men, women and children.

As it happened, the United States government felt that it must turn them back to the Russians. But they left behind there at the American Embassy a number of documents, including letters written by children to their parents.

You see, in Russia if the government finds that children are being educated in religion in a way that the government doesn’t wish, the government has a ready remedy for that. It just takes the children away from the parents.

Some of you saw in the newspapers just a few months ago a report from south Russia where some Seventh-day Adventist children had been taken away from their parents because the parents were not sending them to the public school on Saturday.

So, the government said, “Very well, we’ll put them where they’ll be in school, every day there’s school.”

Well, these children that I’m going to tell you about now, they’d been taken away from their homes and put in government boarding homes, boarding homes. One of them is a little 12-year-old girl named Valia, Valia Vaschenko.

This is what she wrote her father hundreds of miles away:

“Dear Papa, When I feel sad and bitter I write to you and sing songs. When we go to eat, everybody stands around me and won’t let me say grace. I tell them I won’t eat until I ask God’s blessing” Newsweek, January 28, 1963.

This same little girl, Valia, 12 years old, writing to her mother, said:

“Mama, The director shouts at us. The deeper the grief the closer we are to God. Pray that we stand firm” Ibid.

You might be interested in where I got this. This is from one of the leading magazines of America, Newsweek; the issue of January 28, 1963. It’s right up to date.

Now, Valia has a little sister, just eight years old. And she wrote a letter to her parents. Her name is Tania. Tania writes:

“I cry at night. The boys here beat me. But don’t worry. God still keeps us” Ibid.

And little seven-year-old Petula, a little boy seven years old:

“Mama, the boys here beat me, but I bear everything. Mama, I beg them to let me go home, but they won’t let me” Ibid.

Now, what do you suppose I was thinking about as I read that? Why do you suppose I brought this in here tonight? What are the thoughts that run through your minds? Parents, as you listen to those experiences, and you children, what do you think about as you hear that?

Well, I’ll tell you something, friends, there are some times ahead of the boys and girls that are here tonight and the young men and the young women that are here tonight, and older ones, too, that we’d do well to think about.

In the Review and Herald of April 23, 1889, the servant of the Lord wrote:

“Believing parents, your children will have to fight decisive battles for the Lord in the day of conflict…” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.

You’ll find that now in the book Child Guidance, pages 491–492.

My text this evening is the eighth Psalm, and the second verse:

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger” Psalm 8:2.

When men think of strength, they don’t usually think of children, especially little children. But God’s ways are often different from man’s ways. His thoughts are often found to be high above the thoughts of men [a paraphrase of Isaiah 55:9].

And God is going to work a work in our day that, but few anticipate, dear friends. He’s going to take some children and youth down here at the end of this world’s history and surprise the great men of earth.

Those children and young people are in training now. For although they are going to witness as youth and as children, that doesn’t mean that they’re going to witness untrained, unprepared; far from it. Instead of doing their work without training, they are going to have to have special training, and they’re going to have to have it earlier and more intensive than might seem to be necessary in ordinary times.

And so, it is written that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth [a paraphrase of Psalm 144:12].

You see, in the world the idea is that childhood and youth is the light time, the frivolous time, the giddy time, the unsteady and unsettled time, the time to run around and have what is called a good time. Conversely, adult life is supposed to be the time when people settle down, become steady, dependable, trustworthy, responsible.

But when the great crisis breaks upon us, it is going to find some youth who are already prepared to stand just as stiffly as any adult. It’s going to find some children who will surprise and amaze the greatest men of this world.

As it is written in our text:

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger” Psalm 8:2.

Yes, believing parents, your children must fight decisive battles for God in the coming conflict [a paraphrase of Review and Herald, April 23, 1889].

You know, the whole Bible in a sense focuses upon this last hour, this coming hour, this crisis hour when all the world on the one hand, siding with Satan, is massed against and attacks the church of God in this world, standing with Michael and His angels. I say, all the Bible, in a sense, is focused on that hour.

That’s one of the reasons we have those hero stories of Joseph, who stood for God when he was just 17, of Daniel, who met the greatest test of his life when he was just 18, of that little maid that was carried captive from Israel over into Syria. We don’t know her age; we don’t know her name. But a slave, she witnessed for God in the home of the captain (the general, we would say) of the army of Syria.

Of Esther, who at the risk of her life stood up, and under God saved her nation and race. Of John the Baptist, who dared to witness for God even in the face of a king that was rebuked by his straight testimony.

All of these, dear friends, in their youth, some in their teens, some a little later, bore the banner of victory on the side of God. And there are young people today who will follow in their train.

I repeat, those stories in the Bible are meant to inspire the children and youth of today with the assurance that by the grace of God, they can do it, too; they can do it, too.

And will you note that nearly all of those whom I have mentioned found it necessary to witness for God alone, separated from the help and encouragement and instruction of their parents, or anybody else who might help them.

Who encouraged Joseph on that long trek to Egypt? Who came around and gave him words of cheer as there a slave in Potiphar’s house he stood true to God day after day and year after year? Who did, friends? Nobody but the unseen angels.

All that Joseph ever got from parents and teachers he got, my friends, before he was 18. Not a line after that, not a letter, not a word, not a prayer—nothing. All that he got for God he got before he was 18. But thank God, friends, that was enough. He got enough in his soul that he kept building on that and building on that and building on that. He was true.

All that Daniel got from parents, from teachers that loved the Lord, he got before he was 18. Think of those days and days and days doubtless walking, chained to fellow captives over the hot desert sands. And finally, he arrives there at Babylon.

Will he stand or will he conform? Will he be different at the risk of ridicule, persecution, perhaps the risk of the loss of life? Will he stand or will he compromise? Will he wilt? Will he go along? Thank God, he stood.

And three other young men said, “We will, too.”

But the rest went along.

It’s a wonderful thing to have settled in our hearts, dear children and young people, that it is possible for us to get enough right now to make us ready for the crisis hour that may come tomorrow.

And dear parents and teachers, you and I must be fully settled in this great truth that it is possible for us to so teach our children and youth that they can do valiant service for God in their childhood and youth as soldiers in the army of God.

“Stand up! Stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross.”

Will we do it? Will you children and young people do it? Well, I can tell you this, dear friends, the child of today shows the man of tomorrow. The example of faithfulness that Joseph gave in Egypt he had been giving in his father’s house. The loyalty that Daniel showed down in Babylon he had given evidence of in Jerusalem.

“And many a lad of today, growing up as did Daniel in his Judean home, studying God’s Word and His works, and learning the lessons of faithful service, will yet stand in

legislative assemblies, in halls of justice, or in royal courts, as a witness for the King of kings” Education, page 262.

Many of you recognize that I’m quoting. And the page is Education, page 262. It’s going to happen again, friend.

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger” Psalm 8:2.

Oh, friends, it’s going to thrill the universe to see the children and youth of this movement stand for God when all the world is against them.

I wish everybody was going to stand, don’t you? Everybody could. Full provision has been made, but everybody won’t.

In fact, we’re told here in Volume 5, page 136:

“To stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when champions are few—this will be our test. At this time we must gather warmth from the coldness of others, courage from their cowardice, and loyalty from their treason” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, page 136.

Yes, we will never be in the majority. We’ll be in the minority as far as this world is concerned if we’re on God’s side.

Now, character is not developed in a crisis. It’s only revealed in a crisis. Joseph’s character wasn’t made that day at Dothan and on the road to Egypt, but it showed up then. It was made in those early years in his father’s tent as he stood true to God when his older brothers were doing wrong. And instead of uniting with them, he tried to reason with them. And when they wouldn’t listen, he reported their evil doings to the father.

What did he get because of that? He got persecution and hatred. I wonder if there’s some child or young person here brave enough to do that.

You know, boys and girls, and young men and women, very often you see some other child or some other youth breaking some rule of home or school. And unless you understand this principle, you do one of two things. You either enter into the lawbreaking, glad for the chance of having that kind of thrill, or else you play neutral.

You wouldn’t do it because you know it’s wrong, but neither would you get yourself into trouble by standing up and standing out against that wicked thing, that lawbreaking, that impurity, that scheming to get around the regulations, whatever it

is. And in playing neutral, whether you know it or not, you are preparing yourself to go down in the awful crisis just ahead.

Why not make up your mind tonight that you’re going to be like Joseph? And when you see a schoolmate, a classmate, a roommate, a fellow student, whatever the age, doing the wrong thing, you’re going to after earnest prayer try to help that student to see the beauty of obedience, the joy of loyalty.

And if you can’t succeed in it, you’re going to report the matter to somebody who can do something about it.

“Ah,” you say, “I wouldn’t be a tattler.”

Do you know what it is that holds together the gangs of Chicago and New York City? It is that very principle, my friends.

“Don’t squeal, don’t squeal.”

And what a code of honor many children and youth have. God help us, my friends, to send that code back where it belongs, to the ganglands of the great cities. It doesn’t belong on any campus of one of God’s institutions. It doesn’t belong in any Christian home.

If you cannot help the young man, the young woman that’s going down the slippery road to hell, why not in the name of Jesus, and for the sake of that person that you’re trying to help, why not summon some help? Why not get reinforcements and make an all-out effort to stop the sin and save the sinner? Why not do it, my friends?

“Ah, but I’m afraid I’d spoil all my influence with Harry or with Alice if I’d do anything like that.”

You are spoiling your influence if you either unite with them in lawbreaking, or by what you call being neutral, you give this kind of impression:

“Well, I wouldn’t do what you’re doing, but I won’t get in your way if you want to do it. You can count on me. I won’t squeal on you.”

That’ll never make a Job. It’ll never make a Daniel. It’ll never make an Esther. It’ll never make a little Valia over in Russia that writes of the beatings the children are receiving for trying to say grace before they have their meals. No, friends. It’ll never make a hero because it’s born of cowardice.

You know, as I was thinking of what we need in order to live out what we’re studying tonight, one of the words that was forcibly impressed upon my heart was this: “brave,” “be brave.”

Joseph was brave when he faced his older brothers and pled with them not to keep on with their wickedness. That was being brave, wasn’t it?

And after he couldn’t get any results with them, he went to his father and said, “Father, there are some things you ought to know. Gad and Asher and Issachar and some of the other brothers, they’re doing some things that aren’t right. And papa, I think you ought to know about it. I’ve tried to help them, but they won’t listen to me. Maybe they’ll listen to you.”

That took bravery, didn’t it, friends? And don’t think they didn’t remind him of it and hurl it in his teeth that day when they saw him coming at Dothan. Don’t think they didn’t taunt him with it when they threw him in the pit. They were angry because that boy had had the courage to report their evil deeds to the father. But of such stuff are heroes made, my friends, of such stuff are heroes made.

And my dear girl, my dear boy, if you’ve found an easier way, just know it is not God’s way. It is not God’s way. You may think it very wise to keep yourself out of trouble and keep the culprit out of trouble. You may, like Ruben, think that by and by, you’ll come around and pull somebody out of the pit. But like Ruben, you may find him gone. Your opportunity is gone forever.

Oh, that God may help some young men and women and boys and girls here tonight to have done with all such. Just be true. Be open-hearted with the people you ought to be open-hearted with: your parents, your guardians, your teachers, those that under God have a burden for your soul.

Occasionally, there’s some faculty member or parent that doesn’t understand this. They smile indulgently at the disobedience of students. I warn your souls tonight, my friends, you are contributing to the failure of children and youth, as God is trying to prepare them for the crisis hour ahead.

Do not think that your weak-kneed, sentimental catering to their whims and fancies is going to get them ready for the battle. It is not so. You are getting them ready for defeat with that softness, that sentimentalism.

It is written in the book of Psalms:

“Thou hast showed Thy people hard things…” Psalm 60:3.

But ah, too many people are running everything through the whizzer so that the spiritual teeth get nothing to masticate, and all you have to do is drink it down. We need some hard things, my friends. Our young people need some hard things. Our children need some hard things.

And one of the hardest things to learn is the lesson of obedience when to obey means to do the thing that we do not like to do.

Jesus learned obedience “by the things which He suffered,” Paul says in Hebrews 5. And do not think that your children and youth are going to learn obedience in any less painful way than Jesus learned it.

Too many parents and teachers today are caught in the philosophy of this modern age, which seeks to make everything fun. Arithmetic’s fun. Grammar’s fun. Geography’s fun. And I suppose doing the dishes is fun, and digging a ditch is fun.

“Thou hast showed Thy people hard things…” Psalm 60:3.

But I wonder if we will look where God is trying to show us some hard things, friends.

Now, don’t misunderstand me. There is a great deal of pleasure in doing what God says. There is a great deal of joy in the way of obedience. In fact, it’s the only true joy. But it isn’t what is meant by the world when the world says “fun,” my friends. It’s an entirely different article. It’s not the froth and foam of mirth and folly. It is rather a deep-seated satisfaction in knowing that we have done right and done what is required of us, a joy that all the fun and frolic of this world can’t compare with.

Do you know where we learn these lessons, boys and girls? Well, we learn them the way Jesus learned them. From day to day on the hillslopes of Nazareth, Jesus was looking for opportunities to be alone with His heavenly Father, that He might in the study of the Word and prayer gather the strength that would make Him able to face the temptations which Satan was continually urging upon Him.

He had hard things. He had a hard life. He lived in a home with older brothers and sisters, stepbrothers and step-sisters, and not a one of them was trying to help Him spiritually. Not a one of them did help Him spiritually. They took advantage of Him. They opposed Him. They persecuted Him, even while He was little.

But ah, my dear friends, day by day, Jesus somewhere during the 24 hours was alone with His Father, asking God to help Him to be true, to be brave, to be loyal, and to be loving and unselfish.

And we are told:

“Every child may gain knowledge as Jesus did” Desire of Ages, page 70.

And get help as Jesus did.

May I read for you a matchless statement in the book Education, page 259? Listen, boys and girls and older ones:

“It was in hours in solitary prayer that Jesus in His earth life received wisdom and power. Let the youth follow His example in finding at dawn and twilight a quiet season for communion with their Father in heaven” Education, page 259.

Ah, that’s it. Morning and evening, let us old and young find these quiet times alone with Jesus when we get down on our knees and talk while He listens, and then

listen while He talks. There is no other way to build these characters. There is no other way to live this life.

And dear parents, unless your children learn these lessons, they will fail in their final examinations. Children, unless you pass these daily tests, the final test will find you unready, unprepared.

Oh, I want every one of you to pass. I want you to be like Joseph. I want you to be like that little maid who was carried off to Syria. For some of you, sooner than perhaps you think are going to be separated from home and kindred. And alone, all alone you must witness for God.

I like this encouraging statement in Volume 6, 202:

“As Jesus in the temple solved the mysteries which priests and rulers had not discerned, so in the closing work of this earth children who have been rightly educated will in their simplicity speak words which will be an astonishment to men who now talk of ‘higher education’” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 6, page 202.

There’s going to be some.

“As the children sang in the temple courts, ‘Hosanna; blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord,’ so in these last days children’s voices will be raised to give the last message of warning to a perishing world” Ibid.

Do you know what that scene is taken from? Turn over to Matthew 21. That day that Jesus came from the Mount of Olives on the colt, with the children singing His praises as He came down the mount, He passed into Jerusalem, went into the temple. And there He cleansed the temple, and the children filled the temple courts with songs of praise, and He carried on His medical missionary work.

There were some that opposed it:

“…The chief priests and scribes… were sore displeased” Matthew 21:15.

And then, the 16th verse, Jesus said to them, and He quoted our text for the evening from the eighth psalm:

“Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?” Matthew 21:16.

In the Old Testament, it reads:

“…Hast Thou ordained strength…” Psalm 8:2.

Here in the New Testament Jesus quotes it:

“…Thou hast perfected praise” Matthew 21:1

That’s it, friends.

Down here today, Jesus is going to have some young people and children through whom He reveals His strength and His praise. They’re going to be hard against sin, strong as steel, but their hearts are going to be filled with the joy of praise to God. They’re going to go through these trials not in a mournful, depressed, dejected way. They’re going to go through as Joseph and Daniel and Esther did, triumphant in God.

Dear parents, your boy can be one of them. Your girl can be among them. Children and youth, your names are on the list of candidates.

“…Many are called but few are chosen” Matthew 22:14.

Shall we learn to be brave? Shall we learn to be true and loyal? Shall we learn to be obedient? Shall we learn to take time every day to be alone with God no matter what else we miss? Shall we learn to win souls, taking an interest in others instead of thinking of ourselves?

You know, when I was thinking of these things, a very, very practical reference came to my mind, and I’m going to read it here tonight. It’s in Volume 1, 162. Listen carefully:

“The young are often urged to do duty, to speak or pray in meeting; urged to die to pride. Every step they are urged. Such religion is worth nothing. Let the carnal heart be changed, and it will not be such drudgery… to serve God” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 1, page 162.

Now, the name of this chapter is “Young Sabbathkeepers.”

“Let the carnal heart be changed, and…All that love of dress and pride of appearance will be gone. The time that you spend standing before the glass preparing the hair to please the eye, should be devoted to prayer and searching of heart. There will be no place for outward adornment in the sanctified heart…” Ibid.

You know, that was written just about exactly a hundred years ago, friends. Of course, down here today, we don’t have those problems, do we? But back there the young people that were going to follow Jesus needed to spend less time with hair and more time with prayer. Think it over, friends.

“The time that you spend standing before the glass preparing the hair to please the eye, should be devoted to prayer and searching of heart” Ibid.

Says one, “But I think I ought to look neat.”

Yes, friends.

“For Christ’s sake, whose witnesses we are, we should seek to make the best of our appearance” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 6, page 96.

Carry this reference home. You and Jesus decide what it means. You and I didn’t write it, and you and I can’t change it, but we can meditate on it, and we can pray about it.

Oh, I long to see some children and young people that look like they’re getting ready for the battle instead of for the parade.

May we bow our heads?

Precious Lord, we pray that Thou wilt help every boy here to have an experience in standing like Joseph and Daniel stood. We pray Thou wilt help every girl here to have an experience like that little captive maid that went to Syria.

Soon we shall be scattered, scattered over this world, many of us, young, old, each one having to stand all alone. Help us each one to get an experience all alone with Thee every day now, dear Father. May we catch the glorious triumphant challenge of the hosts of God as they march up the battlements of sin and take the heights for God in this last battle.

And may that call for us spoil every selfish thought and every indulgent habit and every personal whim and fancy. And may there stir within us tonight the determination to be all out for God, and to do it now, my Father.

Oh, help us to think of what Jesus gave for us that we may give everything for Him. May the thought of His love poured out on Calvary so melt our hearts that we shall have done with compromise and every low, underhanded, every neutral, Laodicean attitude. Oh, may we enter in with Jesus and be witnesses for Him.

We ask it in His dear name, amen.

I want to open the meeting for any of you, young or old that would like to say something. I’d like to hear from some children tonight if they mean business in what we’ve studied. I’d like to hear from some of these young men and women if their hearts are going out in the earnest determination to be 100-percent loyal, and older ones, too, as God impresses your heart. This is your opportunity to speak.

[Testimony meeting follows]

[Comments made by Elder Frazee during testimony meeting.]

…One of the best ways we can help children and youth to love the way of obedience is to love it ourselves. That’s right.

…When some other folks aren’t around watching us are the things that little children and youth are impressed with. And when they see that we choose the strict way, the way of reform, the way of obedience, when the only reason there is to choose it is because we love God and love His way, that has more effect than any sermon that you and I can preach on the subject of the evening. Let’s give that living sermon. What do you say?

…That’s the 60th Psalm, and the 3rd verse, Psalm 60 verse 3:

“Thou hast showed Thy people hard things…” Psalm 60:3.

…The time still lingers is because we haven’t learned it by the time we were Daniel’s age. God in mercy lets us have some further time. But we must learn the lesson however long it takes us.

And also, we must, along with it, help to train some folks who will learn it by the time they get Daniel’s age or younger.

…Stand up. What for? For Jesus.

All right, brother.

[Brother from congregation] One of the things that impressed me the most about Wildwood when I first came here was the consecration of the young people, and some of them that I knew personally that had a deep experience with the Lord and a determination to stand firm.

I think about Danny Miller. Right now, he’s in the army. But we’ve had good reports about the people that he has witnessed to and that have really stood firmly for God.

And you know, I’m impressed with the thought that our children that can sit here night after night in vespers and listen to these stern sermons and get nothing out of them are going to be the hardest people in the world to save. And I hope our young people, our children, won’t listen to these things hour after hour, week after week, and harden their hearts. They’re paving a path of bitterness for the Holy Scriptures.

[Second brother from congregation] I came back from our trip (I’d been away from home for about 12 days), and I noticed at once there was a spirit that wasn’t pleasing to the Lord in the home. I think some of the others realized it, too. Some were discontent. There was some murmuring and some complaining.

And I got down on my knees, and I cried to the Lord.

I said, “Lord, what can we do to stop this thing?”

My wife was concerned, too. And the Lord impressed me to do something. Those who are in our home know what it is.

I said, “Well, I can get after everybody, scold them.”

I said, “Well, what good would that do?”

So, I thought of something else.

The thought came to me, “Deal with the positive, and you’ll get more results.”

So, we had a little worship on thanksgiving. Then, I told all the group after we had the little worship that I was going to have a little jar up on the fireplace, and every time anybody uttered a murmuring word for one week—we were going to have a week of thanksgiving in our home, and any time anybody uttered a word of murmur, or complaint, or scolded anybody, they were to put a penny in that jar.

Or if anybody came to them and said, “You murmured,” or “You complained,” or “You scolded,” they were to put a penny in. Even though they might not have thought they were scolding somebody, they were to put a penny in because somebody thought they did.

Well, do you know how many pennies are in that jar?

[Audience] None.

[Second brother continuing] That’s right. I haven’t seen a single penny go in there. And we’ve had a blessed week.

And then, I had each member of the house give a worship period this week (and it’s going to string on to the next week because we have about 14 members in the home), each member of the home give a little talk on thanksgiving. And he must mention in his talk what he is thankful for. And you know, it’s brought sunshine in that home, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly.

I’m thankful that Jesus is the Light of the world, and He shines in our homes and in our hearts.
