In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14:2-3

Wherever you may live, and whatever may be your trials; however great your difficulties, and however small your helps; nothing should prevent your aiming at the highest standard, to behave like one who believes that Christ is coming again! You should resolve, by God’s help, to live so that the day of Christ shall find you needing as little change as possible! You should seek to have . . .


          Your tastes so heavenly,
  
                             Your affections so spiritual,

                                                 Your will so subdued,

                                                                      Your mind so unworldly —


that when the Lord appears, you may be thoroughly in tune for His kingdom!

~ J.C. Ryle
