"God is at work in you to help you want to do what pleases Him... Then you will be innocent and faultless in the midst of a crooked generation, among whom you shine as a star in a dark world, holding forth the word of life; that in the day of Christ I may rejoice, that I did not run my race in vain or spend my labor to no purpose."
Philippians 2:13-16, Mom's Paraphrase
