His friends were aware that he bought a cigar the previous day and mockingly advised him to throw it away, having given his life to Jesus at the fellowship meeting. His response: ?Just allow me to smoke this last one, after which I will fully surrender my life to Jesus.? He smoked that cigar and continued to waver in deference to the overpowering influence of his many friends in those school years, but has since sifted the chaff from the wheat and now leads a Christian ministry.

?If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.? ? John 8: 36 (KJV)

The truth will prevail.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
