God is still in his universe. Our technological and scientific developments can neither banish him from from the microscopic compass of the atom nor from the vast, unfathomable ranges of interstellar space. Living in a universe in which the distances of some heavenly bodies must be dated in terms of billions of lightyears, modern man exclaims with the psalmist of old, "when I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon in the stars, which thou has ordained; what is a man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, thou has visited him?" I would urge you to give priority to the search for God. Allow his spirit to permeate your being. To meet the difficulties and challenges of life you will need Him. Before the ship of your life reaches its last harbor, there will belong, drawn out storms, howling and jostling winds, and tempestuous seas that make the heart stand still. If you do not have a deep and patient faith in God, you will be powerless to face the delays, disappointments, and vicissitudes that inevitably come. Without God, all of our efforts turn to ashes and our sun rises into darkest nights. Without Him, life is a meaningless drama in which the decisive scenes are missing. But with Him we are able to rise from tension packed valleys to the sublime heights of inner peace, and find radiant stars of hope against the nocturnal bosom of life's most depressing nights. Saint Augustine was right: "Thou hast created us for thyself, and our heart cannot be quieted till it finds repose in thee."
~Martin Luther King JR~

"Keep moving in faith that we are doing is right and with even greater faith that god is with us in the struggle."~Martin Luther King Jr~
