God Never Wastes Pain. He Always Uses It To Accomplish His Purpose. And His Purpose Is For His Glory And Our Good. Therefore We Can Trust Him When Our Hearts Are Aching Or Our Bodies Are Racked With Pain

Love Provides The Motive For Obeying The Commands Of The Law, But The Law Provides Specific Direction For Exercising Love.

We Could Not Take One Step In The Pursuit Of Holiness If God In His Grace Had Not First Delivered Us From The Dominion Of Sin And Brought Us Into Union With His Risen Son. Salvation Is By Grace And Sanctification Is By Grace.

Both Gentleness And Meekness Are Born Of Power, Not Weakness. There Is A Pseudo-gentlene Ss That Is Effeminate, And There Is A Pseudo-meekness That Is Cowardly. But A Christian Is To Be Gentle And Meek Because Those Are Godlike Virtues... We Should Never Be Afraid, Therefore, That The Gentleness Of The Spirit Means Weakness Of Character. It Takes Strength, God's Strength, To Be Truly Gentle.

Love Is Costly. T Forgive In Love Costs Us Our Sense Of Justice. To Serve In Love Costs Us Time. To Share In Love Costs Us Money. Every Act Of Love Costs Us In Some Way, Just As It Cost God To Love Us. But We Are To Live A Life Of Love Just As Christ Loves Us And Gave Himself For Us At Great Cost To Himself.
