Forsake not the good things of God nor turn your back on living a life of moral excellence in exchange for some momentary earthly gain or some fleeting earthly crown.

Let us stay true to God by seeking to live moral and holy lives free from the corroding effects of personal ambitions and selfish desires.

Let us then seek to have God add to us an increase in the degree of moral excellence in our lives by changing the motivational drive of our lives from one of seeking self advancement to one of seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Then as Jesus said, all these things shall be added unto you.
