Love reacts with goodness towards those who ill-treat it.

We may be confident in this: that in the pain of our suffering is the presence of a faithful God.

How immense God is, that He is able to sweep into His purposes even foolish requests and bad motivations.

What kind of wonderful God is this who reaches down into the lives of people, picks them up, grants them faith, and changes them!

There is no one insignificant in the purposes of God.

Consider how Jesus came from a position of glory and consistently reached out to the lowly.

Refusal to forgive reveals we have minimized our offense against God and we have maximized a brother's offense against us.
