The essence of Christianity is not you putting together a righteousness and giving it to God, but God putting together a righteousness and giving it to you. – @timkellernyc
Sermon, The Breastplate of Righteousness (Part 1)
Thing is, we have to really be careful about who we hate. Because 10 times out of 10, it’s going to be somebody Jesus loves. And he has a way of taking it personally.
What will we have gained by being able to say in the end, “I held that grudge to the death”? We will have sacrificed our peace on the altar of our spite. “But I swore I’d never speak to them again.” Break bad promises. Pride is the glue that holds the grudge that robs the peace.

“They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds.” Hosea 7:14
There is a world of difference between the tears of repentance toward God, and the tears of regret for the consequences of sin.
