The pure love of Christ can remove the scales of resentment and wrath from our eyes, allowing us to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees us: as flawed and imperfect mortals who have potential and worth far beyond our capacity to imagine. Because God loves us so much, we too must love and forgive each other.

We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time!

God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.

Don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try.

The Lord doesn't care at all if we spend our days working in marble halls or stable stalls. He knows where we are, no matter how humble our circumstances. He will use - in his own way and for his holy purposes - those who incline their hearts to Him.

One of the greatest sermons ever pronounced on missionary work is this simple thought attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi: “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.” Opportunities to do so are all around us. Do not miss them by waiting too long on the road to Damascus.

Christlike attributes come into our lives as we exercise our agenncy righteously.
