Dostoyevsky in Brothers Karamazov:
"The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others."

Life flows from the throne of heaven not the steps of the Capitol. Thankful to be a citizen of an unshakable kingdom of grace & peace. Let us pray.

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away (Isa 35:10)
Sorrow and sighing now are very real. But what a promise of everlasting joy to come! Take heart.

God's word is not a textbook to be mastered, but a revelation from the God who masters our hearts. It is not a light to barely warm us, but a blazing fire to consume us. It is not a hammer we throw at others, but an ice pick that shatters the coldness we used to call holiness…

You can eat bitterness for breakfast and go to bed at night with anger, but not without enduring the corrosive effect of both on the soul. Enter the day in thanks, walk through it with love, and end it with forgiveness.
