God,who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through with it, not without pain but without stain
My Redeemer can remove all stain form me. I am human and therefore have plenty of stain. Through the power of my Father and my Brother, I can be cleaned and purified. I must make the effort to come to Them.

Today I got bored in ASL so I started doodling and I drew a number line with both arrows shaded in and no numbers. Instead I wrote the word love really big in the middle. My thought process to go along with this was, love goes on forever. Through good (what the positive direction of the number line represents) and bad (what the negative direction of the number line represents). From infinity to infinity, without end.

"I can forgive but I cannot forget is another way of saying I cannot forgive"
The way to true forgiveness is forgetting any feelings of ill will toward the person that has sinned against you. It doesn't hurt the other person in the least when you harbor feelings of hatred toward them. It only hurts yourself. If God, when he forgives us, forgets all our sins then how can we not forget what others have done to us when we forgive them? That is complete hypocrisy.
Memory has been given to us to learn from. Not to exact revenge nor to use in any other ill fitting manner. We must only use our memory to learn. Otherwise we impair ourselves and our judgment. As well as our own personal growth.

"To 'try' is weak. To 'do the best I can' is not strong. We must always do better than we can"
Through our own power we can not achieve "better than we can". We must have the strength and help of others and especially our God. We do not simply have this help but must ask and strive for it. Must strive to be worthy of this support.

"There is a little truth behind every just kidding. A little curiosity behind every just wondering. A little knowledge behind every I don't know. And a little emotion behind every I don't care."
I love this quote. It is completely true. There's always a thought and an emotion behind an action otherwise it wouldn't happen. So even though you try to negate the emotion or thought by words such as "I'm just kidding", "I'm just wondering", "I don't know", or "I don't care" those basic elements of humanity are still there. Those building blocks to what makes us human are still there. Some things can be hidden from some people some of the time but there's always a way to see inconsistencies in people and I think this quote describes that well.

For whom enough is too little - nothing is ever enough.
If enough is too little that means you are constantly striving for more, right? So that means those people are always striving to be better than their best. There is no possible way of being good enough because that would still imply an enough statement and therefore that you still have to get better. I want to be one of those people. Because I know I have to potential far beyond my own imagination.
