God himself is the greatest gift.

Some days we may be more acutely conscious of our sinfulness and hence more aware of our need of His grace, but there is never a day when we can stand before Him on our own two feet of performance, when we are worthy enough to deserve His blessing.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.

I wish I could say that everything I do is for God's glory but I can't. And neither can you. What I can say is Jesus' blood covers all my efforts to glorify myself.

Then love is sin, and let me sinful be.

We deserve punishment and get forgiveness; we deserve God's wrath and get God's love.

And when we love our sin then we are damned indeed.

When we see death, we see disaster. When Jesus sees death, he sees deliverance!

What the new mate, sports car, or unexpected check could never do, Christ says, I Can. You'll love how he achieves it. He reconnects your soul with God.

For sÃ¥ledes elskede Gud verden, at han gav sin enbÃ¥rne søn, for at enhver som strækker ud hos ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have evigt liv (John G. Paton's oversættelse)

Here's a salute to a long good life: goodness that outlives the grave. love that outlasts the final breath. May you live your life in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life.
