It matters not to me what I do, or what I suffer, so long as I abide lovingly united to God’s will – that is my whole business.

In God’s name, I beseech you, let prayer nourish your soul as your meals nourish your body. Let your fixed seasons of prayer keep you in God’s presence through the day, and may His presence frequently remembered through it be an ever fresh spring of prayer. Such a brief, loving recollection of God renews a man’s whole being, quiets his passions, supplies light and counsel in difficulty, gradually subdues the temper, and causes him to possess his soul in patience, or rather gives it up to the possession of God.

Think what it is we really posses, if Christ is in us . . . We have Him, in whom all fullness of life actually dwells, in whom infinite resources are stored up for our use. Everything needed for continual growth, for perpetual freshness, and for abundant fruitfulness are found in Him. All power, all grace, all purity, and all fullness, absolutely everything to make all grace abound toward us, in us, and through us, are stored up in Him who verily dwells within us.

Funds are low again, hallelujah! That means God trusts us and is willing to leave His reputation in our hands.

Unwillingness to accept God’s “way of escape” from temptation frightens me what a rebel yet resides within.

Humility is not so much a grace or virus along with; it is the root of all, because it alone assumes the right attitude before God and allows Him as God to do all.
