            Do I remember that when considering others?

>There is no punitive condemnation for those in Christ!

            I am not being punished!  Hebrews 12:1-11

                        Do I need to turn from sin today?

            My trials are for great positive purposes!    James 1:2-4, Romans 5:1-11

                        What am I trusting God for right now?

            I have no place or standing to punish myself! (or others)
