Isaiah 7:  Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.
Romans 1: Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Matthew 11:  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”

 

No, life is not predictable, but it is livable if we only concentrate on what we have more than on what we want. “Life is a shipwreck,” Voltaire wrote, “but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or have — for their usefulness.
