No place is far. Every place is simply where it is.<|>    The hopeless cannot be disappointed.<|>    One cannot surrender their life to Jesus Christ and also keep it. <|>    Commitments give rise to expectations.<|>    Life is a duty station not a vacation venue.<|>    Same material: dust. Same defect: rebellion. One remedy: repentance. One Saviour: Jesus Christ.<|>    Perception is more important than intention.<|>    Even for attitude, practice makes perfect.<|>    Satisfaction of one's need/want marks the beginning of their pursuit of satisfaction of their next need/want.<|>    Jesus Christ, as our Saviour, saves us from ourselves. For our natural inclinations are the gateway to eternal death.
