It is a great thing to enter the inner chamber, and shut the door, and meet the Father in secret. It is a greater thing to open the door again, and go out, in an enjoyment of that presence which nothing can disturb.
– Andrew Murray –
from The Prayer Life
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.
– Brother Lawrence –
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.
– Francois de Fenelon –
If you would test the character of anything, you only need to inquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
– Watchman Nee –
We are to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect, not by struggle and effort, but by the impartation of that which is perfect.
– Oswald Chambers –
All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.
– Hudson Taylor –
My God, here I am wholly devoted to Thee. Lord, make me according to Thy heart.
– Brother Lawrence –
The only lover of the Lord Jesus is the Holy Ghost, and He sheds abroad the very love of God in our hearts. Whenever the Holy Ghost sees a chance of glorifying Jesus, He will take your heart, your nerves, your whole personality, and simply make you blaze and glow with devotion to Jesus Christ.
– Oswald Chambers –
Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
