Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.

The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend.

It is because of the hasty and superficial conversation with God that the sense of sin is so weak and that no motives have power to help you to hate and flee from sin as you should.

Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.

We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safety; this is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.

The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source.
