When you go through a disappointment, you could be upset and bitter, but when you overflow with hope, you know that what was meant for harm God is turning to your advantage. Weeping may endure for a night, but you know joy is coming.

I wish to assure my prayer for the victims of the attack that occurred this morning in the Philippines, where a bomb exploded during Mass. I am close to the families and the people of Mindanao, who have already suffered so much.

Maybe you’re standing on a promise and it hasn’t come to pass yet. Don’t worry, your time is coming. Stay in faith. Keep reminding Him what He promised. Keep bringing it to remembrance, thanking Him that it’s on the way. You’re going to see God show out in your life.

When God restores, you’re not going to come out almost as good, grateful that at least you survived. You’re going to come out with nothing missing, fully restored, full of joy.

“World Aquatics’ plans to debut an open category for ‘transgender’ athletes have been cancelled after no entries were received.”

Men who pretend to be women do not care about fairness. They want to be celebrated, and to gain access to spaces where women are undressed.

God controls time. He knows how to accelerate your dreams, accelerate your healing, accelerate what you’re believing for. That’s why you can’t judge your future based on the progress you’ve seen in the past.

[Joel Osteen @JoelOsteen]

You’re not too old; you didn’t miss your chance. God’s already put that seed in your spirit. If you’ll stir it up, start living passionately, you’re going to see God show out in your life.

Jesse Owens of USA winning gold for the long jump in the summer Olympics in Germany, 1936.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The man saluting behind Owens is Lutz Long, a German who shared training tips with Owens and was the first to openly congratulate him after his final jump in full view of Hitler.

After the Olympics, the two kept in touch via mail. Below is Long's last letter to Owens while he was stationed with the German Army in North Africa during World War 2. Long was later killed in action during the allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

"I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.⁣⁣

My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me.

It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

I think I might believe in God.⁣⁣ And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Your brother,⁣⁣ Luz"⁣⁣
