If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.

Without christ, there is no Christian community. ― Lailah Gifty Akita

Stop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.

The more you know yourself, the more you forgive yourself.

Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians, following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear and suspicion.

What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.

---

Those who cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they themselves must pass.

---

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
