“I know that every difficulty we face in life, even those that come from our own negligence or even transgression, can be turned by the Lord into growth experiences, a virtual ladder upward. I certainly do not recommend transgression as a path to growth. It is painful, difficult, and so totally unnecessary. It is far wiser and so much easier to move forward in righteousness. But through proper repentance, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obedience to His commandments, even the disappointment that comes from transgression can be converted into a return to happiness.” KnowsFacesMovingJesusDifficultGrowthChristLordPathReturnEasierJesus ChristDifficultyPainfulDisappointmentMoving ForwardObedienceRepentanceRighteousnessCommandmentsUnnecessaryWiserLaddersLord Jesus ChristTransgressionNegligence Author:Richard G.

“Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like. v One could wish no easier death than that of Socrates, calmly discussing philosophy with his friends; one could fear nothing worse than that of Jesus, dying in torment, among the insults, the mockery, the curses of the whole nation. In the midst of these terrible sufferings, Jesus prays for his cruel murderers. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a philosopher, the life and death of Christ are those of a God.” PeopleIfsEnoughPhilosophyWholeSufferingJesusNationsWishEasyChristTeachDyingPrayingTerribleEasierPhilosopherCurseInsultLife And DeathMidstSay AnythingTormentMurdererMockeryDiscussingFear NotFear Nothing Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Worry is anti-trust. If you're worried, you don't trust something: your kids, their friends, strangers, the church, even God. Can He take care of your children? Certainly. Jesus says, 'I tell you, stop being anxious and worried about your life.' Pretty blunt. Stop it! Easier said than done, huh? Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it!” IfsChildrenSaidDoneHandsCareKidsJesusChurchWorryBabyEasierTestsOur ChildrenStrangerTake CareWorriedYour ChildrenAnxiousDon't TrustBluntEasier Said Than Done Author:Max Lucado
“Everything starts with prayer. Love to pray-feel the need to pray often during the day and take the trouble to pray. If you want to pray better, you must pray more. The more you pray, the easier it becomes. Perfect prayer does not consist of many words but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.” IfsWantNeedsFeelsHeartDoeDesireJesusPrayerPerfectTroublePrayingEasierRaisesFervor Author:Mother Teresa
