Plain Truth: What we despise the most can be the host for change.

1. Start each day with God.

2. Claim daily God’s promises.

3. Trust Him, even when it looks bad.

4. Stand at the door serving others.

Sam Shoemaker’s Poem “I stand by the door.
I neither go too far in, nor stay too far out.
The door is the most important door in the world -
It is the door through which men walk when they find God…
The most tremendous thing in the world
Is for men to find that door - the door to God.
The most important thing that any man can do
Is to take hold of one of those blind, groping hands
And put it on the latch - the latch that only clicks
And opens to the man's own touch.

Men die outside the door, as starving beggars die
On cold nights in cruel cities in the dead of winter.
Die for want of what is within their grasp…
Nothing else matters compared to helping them find it,
And open it, and walk in, and find Him.
So I stand by the door.”
