The World of the End Quotes

“There’s a lesson for us. Betrayal can be so painful, so agonizing, that we are unable to focus on anything else. We can’t let go. Our hearts become bitter. We chew on the possibility of revenge. All this does nothing except create greater harm. When you face betrayal, choose to focus not on yourself but on your purpose. Just like Jesus, choose to live above the mindset of bitterness and revenge by pouring your life into the work God has called to you achieve. I’ll say it this way: staying focused on your purpose will allow you to keep the pain in perspective.”

If you hurt me, I’m going to hurt you worse. And then I’ll expect you to hurt me back, which will give me the green light for even more retribution—and the cycle continues. As Christians, we reveal God’s glory when we break that cycle. We glorify Him when we respond to persecution not with more rage or more vengeance but with the peace of God that passes all understanding.”

“Let me give you some advice that has helped me in such times. Stop and ask yourself a few questions to get reoriented. Is God good? Has He been good to me? Does His Word light the path ahead of me? Are His grace and provision sufficient for all my needs? Has He met my needs in the past? Has He given me promises to bear me through the difficulty? Yes, yes, and yes!”
