True and living devotion presupposes the love of God.
Francis de Sales
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:22
The King James Version
There is only one time that is important—NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.
Leo Tolstoy

Those who accept what they suffer have no suffering of the will, and thus they are in peace.
François Fénelon
Praise The LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 106:1
The New International Version
Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back—in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

One of the weaknesses of our age is our apparent inability to distinguish our needs from our greeds.
Donald William Bradley Robinson
“Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?”
Job 20:4-5
The New American Standard Bible
Live your human task in the liberating certainty that nothing in the world can separate you from God’s love for you.

O Lord, give us all, we beseech Thee, grace and strength to overcome every sin; sins of besetment, deliberation, surprise, negligence, omission; sins against Thee, our self, our neighbor; sins great, small, remembered, forgotten.
Christina Rossetti
O Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures for ever!
Psalm 118:1
The Revised Standard Version
The story is told of a man who got a permit to open the first tavern in a small town. The members of a local church were strongly opposed to the bar, so they began to pray that God would intervene. A few days before the tavern was scheduled to open, lightning hit the structure and it burned to the ground. The people of the church were surprised but pleased—until they received notice that the would-be tavern owner was suing them. He contended that their prayers were responsible for the burning of the building. The church members, however, vehemently denied that their prayers had anything to do with the fire. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented: “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not”.
