You cannot love and follow God without joining the family of God. In all families there are ups and downs, joy and disappointment, success and failure. The family exists to support and nurture, not to leave at the first hint of trouble.
You should be humble and gentle. Do not be an exhibitionist. Do not be loud.
The world wants everything now. Some people choose to shout down others to get their way.
Understand that the outcome of the world is in God's hands, not yours. The ending is already written.
Think carefully before acting. Do not rush to a solution. Do not think you can easily resolve all the complex problems.
In an impatient world, it is your duty to be patient.
