Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 64.
Covetousness – the evil desire for something belonging to another – is one of the most deeply rooted emotions in the human heart. The Apostle Paul, who as a Pharisee could speak of his faultless outward observance of God’s Law (Philippians 3:6), is finally exposed as a sinner by the command, “You shall not covet” (see Romans 7:7-8). He could refrain from stealing but he could not of himself refrain from coveting.

The Christian world is ministered to by tired people. Eastern Europe is being evangelized by tired missionaries who are making the most of the fleeting day of opportunity. Show me a great church and I’ll show you some tired people, both up front and behind the scenes, because greatness depends on a core of people who are willing to put out as the situation demands. Men, we have to understand that we will never do great things for God without the willingness to extend ourselves for the sake of the gospel even when bone-tired.

Ne jamais, en temps de paix ou de guerre, engager sa vertu ou son bonheur dans l'avenir. Le travail heureux est mieux accompli par l'homme qui prend ses plans à long terme un peu à la légère et qui travaille d'instant en instant "comme pour le Seigneur." C'est seulement notre pain quotidien que nous sommes encouragés à demander. Le présent est le seul moment où l'on peut accomplir un devoir ou recevoir une grâce.
C.S. Lewis
Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment "as to the Lord." It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.
C.S. Lewis
Jacques Philippe
Ultimately, we can really forgive people only because Christ rose from the dead; his Resurrection is the guarantee that God can cure every wrong and every hurt.
