God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.

Grace will expose the deepest issues of your heart, then point you to the Cross which covers everything that's been exposed.

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.

Sin is much more than doing the wrong thing. It begins withloving, worshiping, and serving the wrong thing.

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.

See yourself and weep. See your God and rejoice.

You cannot divide human beings into those who worship and those who don't. Everybody worships; it's just a matter of what, or whom, we serve.
