When your sin is exposed, you will run toward confession and forgiveness or self-righteousness and self-justification.

Harboring bitterness against people is actually confessing their sin to myself, over and over again. Anger is akin to confessing their sin to God, dissatisfied that he hasn't done something and placing myself in his position as judge.

We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights and principles. We offer people a Redeemer.

Remember, when you're sinned against its tempting to respond sinfully. Don't give in, talk to your heart and seek the grace of Jesus.

We rarely do anything with on single motive.

If your hope disappoints you, it is the wrong kind of hope. You see, hope in God never disappoints, precisely because it is hope *in God.* This means that hope placed in any other thing will always end up disappointing.

Do you require yourself to remember? In order to live as you can and should, you first must remember who you are and what you’ve been given.
