It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.

The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.

I thank You, Jesus, that You brought into my heart God's love through the Holy Spirit. Thank You, Father, that Your love in me is stronger than my hatred.

If all things are possible with God, then all things are possible to him who believes in Him.

God has plans, not problems for our lives.

Lord, we claim your strength to serve you, no matter what our circumstances may be. Amen.

Jesus loves sinners. He only loves sinners. He has never turned anyone away who came to Him for forgiveness, and He died on the cross for sinners, not for respectable people.
