God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back ; then serve God with all your heart.

If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.

No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!

God wants the whole person and He will not rest till He gets us in entirety. No part of the man will do" (101) - "The Pursuit of God

Let God be true but every man a liar" is the language of true faith

To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.
