ChiBiUp —
Let us rise up and build.—
(Neh. 2:18).
God's miracle-working
power goes to work for us.
When we meet life with the
faith that with God all things
are possible, we break from the
bondage of false ideas, and be-
come free and confident. We
then express ourselves freely
and easily, for God’s love in-
spires us to know that we can.
We appreciate life and its
blessing, opportunities and re-
sponsibilities. The words, we
ran, inspire us today.
