"Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth."
(John 17:17)
The truth of God is ever more precious; it strengthens and nourishes the soul, for it abides for ever, and because it reveals Jesus, and attaches us to Him, the source and power of all good. (J.N. Darby)

"In Thy light shall we see light." (Psalm 36:9)
Though trials and afflictions
May cast their shadows o'er us,
Thy love doth throw a heavenly glow
Of light on all before us.
That love has smiled from heaven,
To cheer our path of sadness;
And lead the way through earth's dark day,
To realms of joy and gladness.
(H.W.)

"Let us go on unto perfection (maturity)." (Hebrews 6:1)
Learning is very real work, and there is no maturing without it, and I do not believe that any one matures brilliantly who does not learn sufferingly. Easily got, easily gone, was never so corroborated as in the highest things. (Footprints for Pilgrims)
