Light-seeds are planted in the souls of God’s people,
Joy-seeds are planted in good heart-soil.
MATTHEW 25:1-2 (CEV)
The kingdom of heaven is like what happened one night when ten young women took their oil lamps and went to a wedding to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

we hold your name in the highest regard.
