We tend to drag up our old sins, we tend to live under a vague sense of guilt…we are not nearly as vigorous in appropriating God’s forgiveness as He is in extending it. Consequently, instead of living in the sunshine of God’s forgiveness through Christ, we tend to live under an overcast sky of guilt most of the time. -Jerry Bridges
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. (Colossians 1:11-14)
Great quote. And love the painting. Reminds me of Van Gough….

Interesting chap, that Van Gogh. Never sold a painting in his lifetime and his work didn’t remind people of anybody. I had a student once who said she liked Shakespeare but he used a lot of clichés. “He invented them, honey,” I said.
