The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. Live enthusiastically, knowing that God does not rejoice in gloom and sorrow, but in life and love. My words go up. My thoughts stay below. Words without thoughts, Never to heaven go.
Life gives to all the choice.
You can satisfy yourself with mediocrity if you wish. You can be common, ordinary, dull, colorless, or you can channel your life so that it will be clean, vibrant, progressive, useful, colorful, rich. You can soil your record, defile your soul, trample underfoot virtue, honor, and goodness, and thus forfeit an exaltation in the kingdom of God. Or you can be righteous, commanding the respect and admiration of your associates in all walks of life, and enjoying the love of the Lord. Your destiny is in your hands and your all important decisions are yours to make.
