God does not love us because we are hard or easy to love, He loves us because He is God.

We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

Brother Lawrence expressed the highest moral wisdom when he testified that if he stumbled and fell he turned at once to God and said, 'O Lord, this is what you may expect of me if You leave me to myself.' He then accepted forgiveness, thanked God, and gave himself no further concerns about the matter.

Keep my eyes fixed on You, Lord. Help me to stop tinkering and realize my total inability to change. I look to You to change me and give me victory as I focus on Your friendly eyes looking lovingly at me. Amen.

Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul; for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.

Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.
