But as we talked it through, he found that these dreams were the exaggerated “ leftovers” of his

“Faith.” “Faith in a Supreme Being,” they say, “ brings stability and security.” No one knows better than God, our Creator, how harmful it is for man to continually feel uncertain. God never intended for His creatures to he insecure; and man never was — until he sinned and turned his back on God. God didn’t let it go at that, however.

We are then the sons of God— and we are assured of an eternity with Him.
