This is a really awesome saying, instructing us what we should do , what we should hope for (In the Glory of Jesus Christ who Is Lord), and to be strong in the acquisition of life's goals through God's Grace...

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

-1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

The beauty stems from the 12th verse in 1st Thessalonians chapter 2. We are told that it is God, He in His Wisdom and Prudence, calls us (all of us) to His Kingdom and Glory.

This tells me, as well as you all, that we are not deflected because of our sins. Nay! For it is natural to sin, however, if we are repentant and repent our sins to God, Jesus is righteous and understanding and will forgive us our transgressions. Not of our own actions, but because of His Grace...

You see the beauty of it? That even in our pitiful and sinful state, God, In His Divine Lovingkindness, calls all of us to live a life worthy of His Love. For He calls us to His Kingdom and His Glory...

That is powerful. Humbling. That our God wants to share with us His Love in Heaven. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Don't defend the wrong side out of stubbornness, just because your opponent happened to get there first and choose the best.

You will go into battle already defeated, and go down in disgrace. Bad is no match for good. It was cunning of your opponent to anticipate the best, and it would be stupid of you to defend the worst. Those obstinate in deeds are in greater danger than those obstinate in words, for there is greater risk in doing than in saying. The vulgar ignorance of stubborn people makes them prefer contradiction to truth and contention to utility. Prudent people are on the side of reason, not passion, whether because they foresaw it from the first, or because they improved their position later. If your opponent is a fool, his foolishness will make him change course, switch sides, and worsen his position. To expel him from the best, embrace it yourself. His foolishness will make him abandon it and his own obstinacy will cast him down.
