“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.” Satan does not put any temptation […]

“Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgives, so also you must forgive.” I’ve always treated people with respect and kindness, in ways that I would like to be  treated and remembered.

“The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself.” In a heated discussion with my partner, I asked why I wasn’t treated with more love.The response was quick and painful to bear.
