         Invest, yes, invest! Invest in the Kingdom of God. Invest in the children of God. Invest in the best investment there is--the investment of the work of God. For he that invests in the work of God is a joint investor with God and reaps the rewards of God.
         You, the children of David, are virgins unto the Lord your God. Virgins in that you are unspotted by the world. Virgins, because you have not taken on the ways of the world. Virgins, because you are free to love your God. So be not entangled with the yoke of bondage, but remain free--free to serve the Lord your God. Do not become enshackled with the chains of conformity, but thrust yourself upon your God in full faith, trusting, and He will never fail you. For he that invests in the work of God receives dividends from God Himself.
         Do not look to the paltry dividends of man, for they are as nothing. Look to the dividends of God, which are an hundredfold and life everlasting. Do not look to the ways of man, but look to the ways of God. Trust Him, for He is better than a known way.
         So invest, yes, invest! Invest in the work of the Lord your God, and reap, yes, reap the dividends of God! For the dividends of God are greater than the dividends of man. The dividends of God are eternal! (ML #3049)
