Jim Hohnberger : "I belong to God”

You and I are in God’s possession. We must remain in His hands no matter what happens. We must say to Jesus, “As you permit difficult circumstances to surround me and my work, I want you to know, Lord, that I accept them all, and more, I even rejoice in them.”

We must remember all the good things, all the blessings, and all the benefits Christ allowed us to experience in our lives. Jesus Himself was not spared difficult circumstances in His life.
"The youth need to be impressed with the truth that their endowments are not their own. Strength, time, intellect, are but lent treasures. They belong to God, and it should be the resolve of every youth to put them to the highest use. He is a branch, from which God expects fruit; a steward, whose capital must yield increase; a light, to illuminate the world's darkness.
Every youth, every child, has a work to do for the honor of God and the uplifting of humanity.” Ellen G. White, Education
