![]() God will use our sufferings, perhaps as a way to comfort others as the Apostle Paul wrote that it is God “who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2nd Cor 1:4) and so in this way, suffering is never wasted but used for God’s glory and other’s good. There are a few heroes of the faith that wanted God to take them home and many a Christian who wanted to end their life because of an incurable and highly painful disease but where God intends as a comma, we cannot make it a period. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to throw it all away?” ![]() Clarence the Angel: “You see, George, you’ve really had a wonderful life. There comes a warning though “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous” ( Heb 13:4). Solomon, as if almost wanting us to celebrate this, wrote “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth” ( Prov 5:18) and which we can just as easily say “rejoice in the husband of your youth” but know this youth will pass, but love will remain. God wants us to rejoice in our spouse and be passionately in love with her or him. I have one part left and it’s the permanent part love! Interestingly, my own love for my wife has grown with the years like a strong, sturdy oak tree. Man on Porch: “Ah, youth is wasted on the wrong people.”Īh, love! What it feels like to be young and in love. Man on Porch: “Why don’t you kiss her instead of talking her to death?” George Bailey: “You want me to kiss her, huh?” It’s no coincidence that the church is called the Body of Christ, “as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another” (Rom 12:4-5) and “just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ” (1st Cor 12:12). How many “one another’s” are there in the New Testament? There are almost one hundred “one another’s” in the New Testament alone, giving conclusive evidence that we need one another and the community of fellowship of the believers. Clarence the Angel: “Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.” If the lost never see a light, they’ll never even know they’re still in darkness. The question is, will we live like Christians and be light to a dark, sin-stained world or will we hide our light because never should “people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house” ( Matt 5:15). Every one of us can make a great deal of difference in the lives of so many and that can be for good or for bad. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” ![]() Here are some powerful quotes from "It's A Wonderful Life": Clarence the Angel: “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. ![]()
