• The way you activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you mobilize vast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible of reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

• The nations are not gathered in automatically. If God has promised to bless "all the families of the earth," he has promised to do so "through Abraham's seed" (Genesis 12:3, 22:18). Now we are Abraham's seed by faith, and the earth's families will be blessed only if we go to them with the gospel. That is God's plain purpose.

• The world keeps turnin'
  It gets merry like a merry go 'round
  It gets cold like a frozen winter
  Well I change like summer fall
  But I know love is all in all
  Seeds we're always sowing
  The grace is always blowing
  We've just got to lift the sail
  And we're bound to hit the shore
  We'll finally calm this storm.
