“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.

“The just man is not the product of a day, but of a long brooding and a painful birth. To become a power for peace, a man must first pass through experiences which lead him to see things in their different aspects: it is necessary that he have a wide horizon, and breathe various atmospheres--in a word, from crossing, one after another, paths and points of view the most diverse, and sometimes the most contradictory, he must acquire the faculty of putting himself in the place of others and appreciating them.” MenFirstsLongDifferentSometimesJusticeViewsPathProductsBirthAspectAppreciatePainfulVariousWideBreathePoint Of ViewAtmosphereAcquireFacultyHorizonDiverseContradictoryCrossingsBrooding Book:Justice Source: Justice

“The incarnation was not initially imposed on the spirits as a punishment. It is rather necessary for the spirits' improvement and for the fulfillment of God's works. Everyone has to submit to it, no matter if one takes the evil or the good path. Only those who take the good path will improve quickly, they do not delay to arrive at the end in less painful conditions.” IfsEndsMatterSpiritEvilPathConditionsPainfulImprovementPunishmentFulfillmentSubmitDelayIncarnation Author:Allan Kardec
