"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Count!

Here's a really neat poem I found in a magazine recently. It's written by an unknown author. I found it in Young Disciple magazine, Volume 19, Number 20, on page 5.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count the kind deeds instead of the mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
