The cross is where God forgave his children without lowering his standards.
Scripture often reminds us that it’s not enough to have ears – we must use them.
Courage does not panic; it prays. Courage does not bemoan; it believes. Courage does not languish; it listens.

Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love.
What makes a Christian a Christian is not perfection but forgiveness.
