Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
