He knows the call
he has placed within
each one of us.
He knows the challenge
of this hour and this trial.
He has a great purpose
for this time in the world,
andthis time in which
it is a privilege to live.
He has made us ready.
We can be certain that,
in ways that we may
have never anticipated,
He will use us.
