“If you are in debt, somebody else owns part of you.”

“Out of debt, out of danger.”

“Spend more than you make = debt. Spend less than you make = independence.”

( LIVING WISDOM by David Riddell)

The BIBLE says:

“Let no DEBT remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.” – Romans 13:8

“Love your neighbours, but don’t pull down your hedge.”

Just as I find the above words again and again, you probably do too. And dreamers have been on my mind for a long time.

At the present time I am reading the book called RENEWED DAY BY DAY by A. W. Tozer and he is writing in the book about the man who is the dreamer.
