These are just some thoughts. I'm going to try really hard to keep these short, even just a line, if I'm able. Also, if I find a good quote from someone else, I'll put that in as well.

Crawling Into Another Mind
You can never understand someone else’s opinions until you believe them yourself. You need to see each person as a system of belief, and then climb into their mind, accepting everything they think without criticism. Then, after exploring every part of their belief system, climb back out and compare it with the system you have. They will change you, but your beliefs will be the stronger for the experience.
Human Weakness
Our bodies wear out. Do as much good with as much energy as you have for as long as you have it. Because our work for God will be reduced year by year. Get as much good done as quickly as possible.
Love and Suffering
If you really care for people, it will hurt like nothing else. The ones you love will hurt you more than anything else, especially when they hurt themselves. Love is only worth it in the long term, not in the immediate.
Proof of Godliness
Humility is a sign of godliness more than anything else. Everyone likes love and adores religious honor. But if they choose to be rejected by others for God’s sake, they are truly sincere.
Knowing God
No one knows God except Jesus. If anyone claims to know God better than Jesus, you can reject what they say without having to listen to them the rest of the way.
