My brethren, when God first began to love you, He gave you all that He ever meant to give you in the lump and eternity is the time in which He is doling it out.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Faith in Jesus overcomes all trials, temptations, and doubts. With a passionate love for Jesus, difficulties are overcome, sacrifices become a joy, and suffering is seen as an honor. But if religion is a consuming passion in your heart, then it’s clear that many people who claim to be religious don’t
actually have it, because their so-called faith wouldn’t pass this test. Examine yourself—does your faith in Jesus truly dominate your soul? If Christ is anything to you, He must be everything. Don’t rest until love and faith in Jesus are the driving forces of your life.

Turning enemies into friends is like making gold out of dross—it’s a miracle, and it’s the glory of God to perform such miracles. We should strive to be like Him in this. Changing an enemy into a friend is a worthy imitation of the God who makes the lion
lie down with the lamb. Love is the true transformer, the real miracle worker; it can tame the wildest and soften the hardest hearts. If you’ve tried everything to overcome an enemy without success, try love, and see what happens.
