I enjoy quotes.  Words matter.  They inspire or tear down.

PAIN

- Pain closes the door of our heart.

  God's GRACE opens the door.

WEARY IN WELL-DOING

- Must I be giving and giving again?

  The weary wondering question came.

  "No," said the angel, piercing me through,

  "Just stop when the Lord stops giving to you."  -Anonymous

(Matt. 10:8... Freely you have received, freely give.)
