The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed... The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.

You have been forgiven, so act like it!

Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.

Unselfish love does not exploit its object and it does not ask for anything in return.

When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.

If He put tribulation before you and said He will give you patience by giving you a little trouble along the way, wouldn't you take a little trouble? You say, 'Lord, I want all my highways paved.' the Lord says, 'I'm sorry, I can't accommodate you. I'm going to let you run over some bumps occasionally, so you will have patience.' You do not like the bumps, but you like the patience, and if you want the patience, you will have to take the bumps. And what is patience but experience?

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.
