“The book of Proverbs warns us over and over again about negative associations. Constant exposure to wrong attitudes and wrong values will eventually take its toll in our lives. It is always easier to pull someone down than it is to lift him up. What kind of friends should you have? The kind who bring out the best in you, who lift you up, who encourage you, who make you a better person.”

“If you have a relationship with God through Jesus, you don’t need to fear death. It is the door to eternity. It will be the last hour of your time on earth, but it won’t be the last of you. Rather than being the end of your life, it will be your birthday into eternal life. The Bible says, “This world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven.”

“Sabrás que estás en proceso de maduración cuando empieces a ver la mano de Dios en las circunstancias más variadas, confusas y aparentemente vanas de la vida. Si estás enfrentando un problema ahora mismo, no preguntes: «¿Por qué a mí?». Pregunta en cambio: «¿Qué quieres que aprenda?». Después confía en Dios y sigue haciendo lo que es correcto. «Ustedes necesitan mantenerse firmes, permaneciendo en el plan de Dios para poder estar allí cuando tenga lugar la plenitud prometida».33 No te des por vencido: ¡Madura!”
