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.

Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

Lord, thou has called me forth, I turn and call on thee.

It is a grand thing to have a man with whom God is, to entrust one’s business to.
– Andrew Murray –
Let us thus think often that our only business in this life is to please God, that perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.
– Brother Lawrence –
The perfect victory is to triumph over ourselves. For he that keepeth himself subject in such sort that his sensual affections be obedient to reason, and his reason in all things obedient to Me; that person is truly conqueror of himself . . .
– Thomas a Kempis –
from The Imitation of Christ
Self-denial surely means something far greater than some slight and insignificant lessening of our self-indulgences!
– Hudson Taylor –
An honest, consistent, godly character, is a sermon all the week. The godly Christian–pure of heart and unspotted by the world–is the best preacher of the gospel. The revival which is most urgently needed, is a revival of practical godliness. Sunday preaching is not enough; we need more “sermons all through the week.”
