QUOTE - Martin Luther
“It is the same as when a physician says to his patient, ‘I have not come to give you poison and cause your death; but I want to help you. If you follow my advice, you need not worry. But if you refuse my advice, call me a rogue or a rascal, regard my medication as nonsense, and will not tolerate me around you, then you are arbitrarily sentencing yourself to death, and then the fault is yours. I am not the one who is killing you now”.

QUOTE - C.S. Lewis
"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors."

What is the true state of my heart right now? What do I need to bring into the light of confession and repentance in order to be healed?
Have I trusted, and am I still trusting Jesus alone to forgive my sins and give me abundant, eternal life with Him?
Am I living with an eternal perspective or has my perspective been “of this world”? How is God calling me to use what He has given me to shine the light of Christ where He has sent me?
