“Not only our eternal salvation depends upon our willingness and capacity to forgive wrongs committed against us. Our joy and satisfaction in this life, and our true freedom, depend upon our doing so. When Christ bade us turn the other cheek, walk the second mile, give our cloak to him who takes our coat, was it to be chiefly out of consideration for the bully, the brute, the thief? Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?” GivingJoyTurnsChristWalksDependsEternalCapacitySalvationForgivingLaysCommittedSatisfactionBurdenMilesThis LifeDestructiveConsiderationWillingnessResentmentCheeksThievesCoatsBullyBrutesCloaksTrue FreedomTurn The Other Cheek Author:Marion D.

“There are people already sharing eBooks out there, .. and they do it simply because they love books.

“God should be most where man is least: So, where is neither church nor priest, And never rag nor form of creed To clothe the nakedness of need,- Where farmer folk in silence meet,- I turn my bell-unsummoned feet; I lay the critic's glass aside, I tread upon my lettered pride, And, lowest-seated, testify To the oneness of humanity; Confess the universal want, And share whatever Heaven may grant. He findeth not who seeks his own, The soul is lost that's saved alone.” MenWantNeedsShouldMaySoulFormHumanityTurnsLostHeavenChurchSilenceFeetSharePrideUniversalLaysCriticsFolksGlassesSavedOnenessPriestsGrantsFarmersBellsCreedsLowestRagsQuaker Book:Among the Hills, and Other Poems Source: Among the Hills, and Other Poems
“I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused. Now I found that I could turn my eye to the adjacent field of vision, seeing another focus, an extension which I added to the original. Instead of stopping at two focuses, I looked further to the side, adding another and yet another.” WorldMadeTwoEyeLyingTurnsFoundSidesVisionSawsFocusCuttingSeeingFrontsFieldsOriginalsLaysCentreExtensionsStopping Author:Joseph Plaskett
