2 Corinthians 5:20

We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: We implore you on Christ's behalf,
Be Reconciled To God

Never Reconciled

"We have been so long married, and never reconciled; that is, there never was any occasion for it."


- Matthew Henry (1662-1714), upon 20 years of being married to his wife. His father Philip had advised them upon being newly wed,

"Love much, and oft together pray; but see
you never both together angry be.
If he speak fire, do you with water come;
Is she provoked, be thou in kindness dumb."
