|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. No matter how far the distance may seem God is as near as your breath.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Notice what we are to seek. "The Lord thy God."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Not the lost possessions.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. "THOU SHALT FIND HIM."</div>
