The fruit of the Spirit is not push, drive, climb, grasp and trample. Life is more than a climb to the top of the heap.

Men of prayer and faith – The War Cry
Men of prayer are men of faith; closet supplicants make faith’s heroes.

(1895)
How to experience God’s peace – Charles H. Brent
Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God’s removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him.
– Charles H. Brent –
The test of who you really are – Fred Mitchell
What a man is on his knees before God in secret, that will he be before men: that much and no more.
– Fred Mitchell –
Having the patience of Jesus – Andrew Murray
It is in the course of our feeble and very imperfect waiting that God Himself, by His hidden power, strengthens us and works out in us the patience of the great saints, the patience of Christ Himself.
– Andrew Murray –
Imitate My Life – Charles Spurgeon
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 ESV) – It is well when a man can with advantage be so minutely copied as Paul might have been. Oh, for grace to imitate him this day and every day!
– Charles Spurgeon –

Unspeakable Peace – Watchman Nee
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
– Watchman Nee –
A mighty longing after God – AW Tozer
I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

Peace and Happiness – James H. Aughey
Happiness without peace is temporal; peace along with happiness is eternal.
