The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find inward peace?

Justice is not something God has. Justice is something that God is.

Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God

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

It is doubtful we can be Christian in anything unless we are Christian in everything.

No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.
