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.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

The Christian is strong or weak depending upon how closely he has cultivated the knowledge of God.

No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.

Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light of His face.

The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.
