Making a Difference in

the World (Part 102) Jesus told us to take up his yoke and learn of him.

Then Paul tells us to study to show ourselves ap-proved. Here are a few more scriptures that I would like for you to read: Heb. 6:19, 1 John 2:28, and Matt. 22:37. After reading the next section see what conclusions you can come up with.

God said to come to him continually. He is meant to be the Center of our consciousness. Your mind will wander from him, but the question is how far you allow it to wander. As you drift away from God, his Spirit within us gives a tug and you return to him. You wander only a short distance before feeling that inner tug when you are in tune with God.

The more we commit to God’s ways the more we will start “Making a Difference in the World”.
