| Jensen, does everybody have these kind of problems? | |
| Because you think don't you see over and you see this family, they're all dressed nice and look good, and you say, well, those people got it together. | |
| But you know what? | |
| The only perfect people are people you don't know very well. | |
| That's right. | |
| Wow. | |
| You're right. | |
| Even your introduction. | |
| Oh, the introduction. | |
| Just the introduction. | |
| I don't know. | |
| You must have got a real spurt of anointing on the introduction, even. | |
| It says, the very people we love the most will hurt us the most. | |
| That's one of the first lines of this introduction. | |
| Mark Twain said, if you ever see a dog on the side of the road that's starving, mangy, shaking in its own weakness, sick, and you take that dog home and you feed it and you nourish it back to health, that dog will never bite you. | |
| And then he went on to say, therein lies the chief difference between a dog and a person. | |
| Because sometimes the people that you have helped and loved the most will hurt you the most. | |
| Some people just get up, brush their teeth, sharpen their tongue, and they're ready to go after you, just like that reporter you were talking about. | |
| And you have to make up your mind. | |
| You know, the Bible calls love joy, peace, kindness, calls them the fruits of the Spirit. | |
| Well, you know something, you don't know what kind of fruit you've got until somebody takes a bite out of you. | |
| And then we're going to find out if you're sweet or bitter fruit. | |
| And when somebody takes a bite out of you, it will either reveal the bitterness, the anger, the hatred, or it will reveal Christ and His love and His grace and His kindness and His longsuffering. | |
