God Never Fails
We grow accustomed to failure.1 There is never a success that is not built upon a dozen failures. No man is so wise, strong, or good that his path is not marked with many a failure. Wise men are not wise enough, strong men are not strong enough, good men are not good enough to avoid failure, and many a story of failure is sad and tragic enough, and sometimes the failure is a failure of love and friendship and truth and this is the worst of all.
When those we trust betray us, when those we love forsake us, when those we have helped revile us, the failure bites deep into the soul. But one thing stands out boldly against this record of human failures.
God never fails.
His strength knows no weakness, His wisdom never blunders, His goodness holds no flaw.
Father and Mother may forsake, human love may prove untrue, but there is no possibility of the Eternal Father ever ceasing to love His own. No sinful man ever trusted God in vain. No weak and helpless one ever found Him to fail.
Therefore, President, past presidents, and comrades all, let us rededicate ourselves during this Yuletide season to live our lives by the tenets of our belief or fractionation Christians by having complete faith in the Almighty God who never fails.
May the Peace and Blessings of this season be with us always.
Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to the T.R.S.
