                                                          Lord came and stood 
                                                          there, calling as at

                                                          (1 Samuel 3:10)

                                                          God says, "Call

                                                          talking, we can stop, 
                                                          remain quiet and allow

                                                          of truth. The world

                                                          know Him, for He lives 
                                                          with you and will be 
                                                          in you." John 14:15-17.

                                                          seek the truth.
