Boy, it is not fun suffering in this body of weak flesh, but Jesus is straightening out all my crooked places.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I groan daily under a body of sin and corruption. Oh for the time when I shall drop this flesh, and be free from sin!
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
If we could only snap the fetters of the body that bind the feet of the soul, we shall experience a great joy. Then we shall not be miserable because of the body's sufferings. We shall become free.
If you keep your eyes fixed on Christ, He's going to reward you.
Wherever you live on this earth, and whatever your life's situation may be, I testify to you that the gospel of Jesus Christ has the divine power to lift you to great heights from what appears at times to be an unbearable burden or weakness.
Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!
Jesus is coming back for a church without a spot or a wrinkle. His righteous blood covers the spots and the wrinkles of those who believe unto righteousness, allowing once sinful men to be holy.
God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.
In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.
