Proverbs 13:4 (NIV) The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Romans 12:11 (NIV) Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Thanks be to God for a life full-packed with things that matter crying to be done—a life, thank God, of never-ending strife against the odds... Just enough time to do one's best, and then pass on, leaving the rest to Him. —John Oxenham
