The Bitter Cup

The cup isn't bitter because it's sugar, but because it's medicine.  Drink it to the dregs, as Jesus did.  This is part of following Jesus.

Act in Love, Not Cowardice

When wrongly accused, act in love, not cowardice.  Speak truth in love no matter how it hurts.  Love God and people more than your reputation.

Your deepest discouragements are just downward movements of the diving board before the magnificent dive into the next jeweled pool!  God's working wonders through them!

Not Ability, but Nothingness

Real love depends not on your determination or ability to love, but on your nothingness.  God, Who is Love, fills nothingness, splashing outward onto everyone!

Your Body is Your Soul's Servant

In God's army, we train/eat light today, to win the prize/feast in eternity.  Let your body be servant of your soul; not vice-versa.

You Can't Affect God's Love For You

Nothing about God depends on you, including His continual full-force invitation to come always!  Your failures never affect Him or His love for you.
