"Look at your own daily life, both at home and abroad, and consider what place the charity of Scripture has in it. What is your temper? What are your ways of behaving toward all around you in your own family? What is your manner of speaking, especially in seasons of vexation and provocation? Where is your good-nature, your courtesy, your patience, your meekness, your gentleness, your forbearance? Where are your practical actions of love in your dealing with others? What do you know of the mind of Him who 'went about doing good,'--who loved all, though, specially, His disciples,--who returned good for evil, and kindness for hatred, and had a heart wide enough to feel for all?"

Great quote! Cute photo! Actually, the subjects gracing it are what makes it so cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood, practical quote from JC Ryle. It is the challenge set before us to live Godly in our every day (and somewhat unseen) life.
