The Cross—A Bond of Love
I am sorry to hear of your troubles, but I am sure you realize that you must carry the cross with Christ in this life. Soon enough there will come a time when you will no longer suffer. You will reign with God and He will wipe away your tears with His own hand. In His presence, pain and sighing will forever flee away.
So while you have the opportunity to experience difficult trials, do not lose the slightest opportunity to embrace the cross. Learn to suffer in humility and in peace. Your deep self-love makes the cross too heavy to bear. Learn to suffer with simplicity and a heart full of love. If you do you will not only be happy in spite of the cross, but because of it. Love is pleased to suffer for the Well-Beloved. The cross which conforms you into His image is a consoling bond of love between you and Him.
~Francois Fenelon (1651-1715)

Sins!
“There are only small sins if there is a small God.”
Hercule Poirot
“There is nothing in the world so damaged that it cannot be repaired by the hand of almighty God. I encourage you to know this, because without this certainty, we should all of us be mad!” Hercule Poirot
Message About Christ
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. Colossians 3:16
Huge Cloud of Witnesses
Since we have such a huge cloud of witnesses watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Self-serving Sermons
Does not our preaching contain too much of our own opinions and convictions, and too little of Jesus Christ? Let us try to get away from the poverty and pettiness of our own little convictions and problems, and seek the wealth and splendor that are vouchsafed to us in Jesus Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
