In the Bible, the race of life is never considered from the viewpoint of speed... We are to run it with patience.

The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

Pray; and as you pray, surrender; and as you surrender, believe.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.

To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance.
