glory.

abilities to understand and manage.

He who hath begun a good work in you shall continue it unto that perfect day.

                you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.)

5. Any one battle is not conclusive, but does serve to reveal God’s faithful hand.

handiwork.

There is but one potter.

1 Peter 1: 8 Your rejoicing is in He who is and shall be; He who rules and

blesses; He who is from everlasting; He who gives life forever.

accomplishment to which you have a part that shall last forever and ever.

10. You are not raising Jesus, but are a mother of children to be raised for Jesus.
