God never tells you to "forgive yourself." Never. Because 1. You have zero power to truly forgive - wipe sin away in yourself. 2. Your sins and mistakes are against GOD, not yourself. 3. HIS FORGIVENESS is enough. It should give us all the comfort and rest we need.

"To cease from prayer is to stop the vital stream upon which all your energy is dependent; you may go on preaching and teaching and giving away tracts, and what you like, but nothing can possibly come of it when the power of Almighty God has ceased to be with you." -

We need to keep our eyes on Christ and on others. Satan will use guilt to keep us in bondage to sins the Lord has already forgiven and forgotten.

Child of God, you cost Christ too much for him to forget you.

"Find the courage to be authentic. Not everyone will like you, but no one can if they don’t get a chance to know you." -

"Behold, this day, God heareth prayer wherever there is a true heart." -

"Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. Start small. Start now." -
“We do not want merely to see beauty ... We want something else which can hardly be put into words — to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” -C.S. Lewis
It is always JESUS + nothing. He alone is enough. Period.

To all the Atheists out there: Your master believes in the one true and living God as does his host of demons just so you know.
A man cannot stand under the shinings of divine love with a frozen heart, nor yet with dry eyes. —Thomas Brooks,
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
The world has lost its power to blush over its sin; the Church has lost its power to weep over it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Indeed it is hard to convince a man that is obeying the Law [of God] as well as he can for his life and acceptance before God, that he is working the devil’s work. —
Ebenezer Erskine,
Self-righteousness is one of the main works of the devil.
Do nothing that you would not like God to see. Say nothing you would not like God to hear. Write nothing you would not like God to read. Go to no place where you would not like God to find you. Read no book of which you would not like God to say, "Show it to Me."
J.C. Ryle
The Holy Spirit is not a luxury, not something added now and again to produce a deluxe type of Christian once in a generation. No, He is for every child of God a vital necessity —
AW Tozer
Is he not as mighty now, and as willing to save, even to the uttermost, all that come to the Father through him, as he was seventeen hundred years ago?
Never be ashamed of letting men see you want to go to heaven. Think it no disgrace to show yourself a servant of God. Never be afraid of doing what is right.
J.C. Ryle
It is evident that our conversion is sound when we loathe and hate sin from the heart. -
Richard Sibbes
Surely if it draws your heart nearer to God and mortifies it more to this vain world, it is a rod in the hand of special love. –
John Flavel
"It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them."
Elisabeth Elliot
“Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
“That the reason why they are not fallen already and do not fall now is only that God's appointed time has not come. For it is said, that when that due time or appointed time comes, their foot shall slide. Then they shall be left to fall, as they are inclined by their own weight. God will not hold them up in these slippery places any longer, but will let them go; and then, at that very instant, they shall fall into destruction; as he that stands on such slippery declining ground, on the edge of a pit, he cannot stand alone, when he is let go he immediately falls and is lost.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
“The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
