Children need the wisdom of their elders; the aging need the encouragement of a child's exuberance.

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.

Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

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

We can’t solve problems for others. We can introduce them to the Lord.

How often it is a small, almost unconscious event that makes a turning point.

God, make me willing to be made willing.
