The heart of the world is breaking under this load of pride and pretense. There is no release from our burden apart from the meekness of Christ.

Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

Perfect love knows no because

God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.

Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.

The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.
