God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'

Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible spiritually to God for other people?
