Sometimes I wonder if we don't see Christ's love as much in the people he tolerated as in the pain he endured.

Forgiveness is choosing to see your offender with different eyes.

Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.

The worship of safety emasculates greatness.

God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.

Be kind to yourself. God thinks you're worth his kindness. And he's a good judge of character.

It's not about winning or losing, but love and respect.
