Isiah Thomas on former NBA players holding LeBron out of the top 5 players of all time:
“Guys are jealous, they get envious…. They intentionally ignore the obvious. When you intentionally ignore the obvious it has to come back to jealousy, envy, or straight up BS. This man got every basketball record on the books, if he ain’t in your top 5, you’re full of sh*t”

Forgiveness is not pretending like it didn’t happen or it didn’t hurt. That’s lying. Forgiveness is the decision to release a debt regardless of how you feel.
“Whoever would be great among you must be your servant.” Mark 10:43

Measured by the will to serve the needs of others.
Especially their need to know and trust Jesus.
“Jonathan’s armor-bearer said to him, ‘Do all that is in your heart. Behold, I am with you heart and soul.’” 1 Samuel 14:7
Oh, the preciousness of a friend, or a church member, or a wife who says, “I am with you heart and soul.”
