What joy that the Bible tells us the great comfort that the best is yet to be. Our outlook goes beyond this world.

When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.

Even as the angry vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them. Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him....Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give me your forgiveness....And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives along with the command, the love itself.

The school of life offers some difficult courses, but it is in the difficult class that one learns the most.

when we are powerless to do a thing, it is a great joy that we can come and step inside the ability of Jesus

I knew my life had been given back for a purpose.

Oh, this was the great ploy of Satan in that kingdom of his: to display such blatant evil one could almost believe one's own secret sin didn't matter.
