Wise words, QB!

You make Lott, and his Lord - both enormously proud!

This is a wonderful fact. When the Christ declared it is finished, there simply was nothing left not ultimately unfinished.

God is NOT counting our trespasses against us.

He never was, it's man who holds a grudge or a persistent feeling of ill will towards others; animosity.

Never change who you are to gain or keep a friend. If you must change then s/he is not a true friend and if you do change you will betray yourself.

Be who you are as long as you love one another, which includes yourself.

"Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law" -Romans 13:8

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." -Matthew 7:12

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." -Romans 12:10

Worldly accomplishments are not what matters, QB. What you are becoming inside is far more important and valuable. From what I can see, you are closer to the top among your generation in that respect.
