God calls us to graciously bear with the weaknesses of others, tolerating them and forgiving them even as He has forgiven us.”

“Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.”

Some designers cut their clothes for certain body types and others for others.

Use it wisely.”
