The Kingdom of God is an earthly experience which manifests in an unearthly manner.

The tragedy is that what you disapprove of in others is the very thing you disapprove of in yourself.

Without haters, you can't see the level of your progress, that shows you that haters are necessary evil.

Today I am even richer.

Don__ dare to dream big, just dream BIG!

The more deeply one enters into the experience of the sacred the more one is aware of one__ own personal evil and the destructive forces in society. The fact that one is alive to what is possible for humankind sharpens one__ sense that we are fallen people. The awareness of sin is the inevitable consequence of having met grace... This grace-judgment dynamic reveals that the center of Christian life is repentance. This does not mean that the distinguishing mark of the Christian is breast-beating. Feeling sorry, acknowledging guilt, and prolonging regret may be components of the human condition, but they are not what Jesus means by repentance. Repentance is the response to grace that overcomes the past and opens out to a new future. Repentance distinguishes Christian life as one of struggle and conversion and pervades it, not with remorse, but with hope. The message of Jesus is not __epent,_ but __epent for the Kingdom of God is near.
