We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. —1 John 4:16
The secret of walking closely with Christ, and working successfully for Him, is to fully realize that we are His beloved.

I know whom I have believed. —2 Timothy 1:12
Personal acquaintance with Christ is a living thing. Like a tree that uses every hour for growth, it thrives in sunshine, it is refreshed by rain—even the storm drives it to fasten its grip more firmly in the earth for its support. So, troubled heart, in all experience, say, “This comes that I may make closer acquaintance with my Lord.” —Selected

Ye shall be witnesses unto me…unto the uttermost parts of the earth. —Acts 1:8

Come out from among them, and be ye separate. —2 Corintians 6:17
With all the world in his choice, God placed His ancient people in a very remarkable situation. On the north they were walled in by the snowy ranges of Lebanon; a barren desert formed their eastern boundary; far to the south stretched a sterile region, called the howling wilderness; while the sea—not then, as now, the highway of the nations, facilitating rather than impeding intercourse—lay on their west, breaking on a shore that had few harbors and no navigable rivers …

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. —Psalm 55:22
He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself with an uneasy burden.
