Separate always? "Nobody" Susan Warner quote

Yes, it is time for another little quote by Susan Warner from her book, "Nobody".
A girl and her grandmother are discussing being separate from the world and I love the response here.

"How can one be separate always, Grandma, in the midst of other people?"

"Take care that you keep nearest God. Walk with Him; and you'll be pretty sure
to be separate from the most o' folks."


It's very simple, direct and to the point, and exactly what we need to do.
How do we take care to keep nearest God?
Spending time in prayer and reading the Bible would seem to be the obvious ones.

A Susan Warner quote

So, I've been thoroughly enjoying reading some good old books. 

I came across this quote and thought it very good and comforting.

So often, we're confused by many things in life, but our Heavenly Father 

is never confused and He has promised to guide us if we will look to Him.

Pondering Perfection

So, I've been thinking about this a bit recently and did a quick search on the things Scripture calls perfect.

And I've needed to remind myself over and over again that these things will always be true.
God's Ways and Will may not always seem perfect to us, but perhaps that's because we aren't yet!

I was amazed by the amount of times Scripture references people having a perfect heart.

I'm nowhere near there yet, but by His grace, He will "perfect that which concerns me". Psalm 138:8
and " being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6.
Amen!

I heard this the other day, and it sounds about right for a lot of people.
