Torture?

The Christian answered, "The power is all on my side.  I can love you while you torture me to death"

War inside...

A man told his grandon - "A terrible fight is going on inside of me - a fight between two wolves.  One is evil & represents hate, anger & arrogance, intolerance & superority.  The other is good & represents joy, peace, love, tolerance, understanding, humilty, kindness, empathy, generosity & compassion. 

This same fight is going on inside you - inside every other person too"

The grandson then asked - "Which wolf will win"

The old man replied simply: "The one you feed"

Phillip Yancey

  • There is no magic cure for a person in pain.  Mainly, such a person needs love, for love instinctively detects what is needed.

  • As so often His pattern, God uses very ordinary people to bring about His healing.  Those who suffer don't need our knowledge & wisdom, they need our love.
