Christian Life

Never read God’s will concerning you without honestly giving up yourself to do it at once, and asking grace to do so.  God has given us His Word, to tell us what He wants us to do and what grace He has provided to enable us to do it: how sad to think it a pious thing just to read that Word without any earnest effort to obey it!  May God keep us from this terrible sin!  Let us make it a sacred habit to say to God, ‘Lord, whatever I know to be Thy will, I will at once obey.‘ Ever read with a heart yielded up in willing obedience.

He looks today, as He has ever looked, not for crowds drifting aimlessly in His track, but for individual men and women whose undying allegiance will spring from their having recognized that He wants those who are prepared to follow the path of self-renunciation which He trod before them.

It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough…to stand up for it.

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
