Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray.

The religion of the Bible is wholly supernatural.

When God wants to bring more power into our lives., He brings more pressure. He is generating spiritual force by friction.

As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.

Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we shall either grow stagnant or empty, It is, therefore, not so much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling.

God’s jewels are often sent us in rough packages and by dark liveried servants, but within we find the very treasures of the King’s palace and the Bridegroom’s Love.

May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.
