Throwing Out Goodies - #3736
You can keep giving out to other people because God is always going to give you back more than you gave out. You shovel out, God shovels in, and God has a much bigger shovel. And what are we giving out ultimately? Grace. Undeserved favor - just like we've received from God.

Return to me - a Christian perspective
Throughout the Old Testament, God's chosen people continually, repeatedly abandoned him and disobeyed His commands. But rather than leave them to their fate, God always promised to restore them if only they would return to Him.

A Bucket of Water, Or a Three-Alarm Fire - #2782
Don't wait another day to do something about the fire. It's as small now as it will ever be. Gently confront what you have to confront, forgive what you have to forgive, apologize for what you have to apologize for, and overlook what you have to overlook, but deal with whatever is between you.

Going Back To Where You Went Wrong - #2823
Biblical repentance always goes hand-in-hand with restitution - making things right at the point where you went wrong. That might be restoring money to someone, undoing some lies or some damage you did to someone's reputation, maybe asking forgiveness of those who you sinned against sexually, sinned with sexually, or maybe of those who have been hurt by you anger. Whatever the sin, the Holy Spirit of God will make it clear what needs to be made right.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Emptying Your Trash Basket - #8273 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There’s plenty of junk e-mail–spam, they call it. But sometimes you get a gem in some of the creative stuff that friends forward to you. I got a child’s version of the Lord’s Prayer that both amused and even enlightened me; especially when this little boy got to the part where many Christians pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Except this boy heard it this way: “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The List That Rules Your Life - #8266 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There are way too many stories like this one in the news, but this one seemed colder and more brutal than most. A quiet man set out on a killing rampage, making his way across the miles to murder one family member or coworker after another. His final victim was himself. The police uncovered the list that ended in so much bloodshed. They said, “He kept a list of those who did him wrong.”

Fragile Stickers - #2632
A lot of times we handle people roughly in reaction to how they handled us. But Jesus calls us to do pro-active talk, not reactive, not treating people as we were treated by as we want them to treat us, and treating them, not as they have treated you, but as Jesus has treated you.
