Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.

Corrie Ten Boom

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Thomas Carlyle

Nothing surprises God. What puzzles us is permitted by our Lord, for reasons too profound to grasp. It is put together in the counsel of His own will so that it fits perfectly into His plan for His glory and for His purposes.

Charles Swindoll
