Without love, true holiness is impossible, so I pray that my love for others will grow.
– Andrew Murray –
I think heaven is the sweeter because many of my old, lovely, affectionate, holy friends are there, and I am the more willing by death to follow them. And should it not be more pleasing to think that my God and Father, my Saviour and Comforter, are there?
– Richard Baxter –
from the book Dying Thoughts, 1683
If the Lord is your friend, who is he that can harm you? All is well.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours. Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
– Phillips Brooks –
I know for me, going back the person I’ve bad-mouthed or lied to is absolutely humiliating! But isn’t it interesting that “humiliating” has the same root word as “humility”? Part of humility is taking responsibility for my sin and asking forgiveness even when it doesn’t feel good. God wants to heal and restore your relationships, but it’s not easy.

God can gift people, but it is something else when a man is in favour with God; when God can say “For this man’s sake, I will not judge this city or will show favour to this church.”
