The glory of God always comes at the sacrifice of self.

If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.

Coming before God in quietness & waiting upon Him in silence often can accomplish more than days of feverish activity.

God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.

If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week.

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?

God's gifts are many; His best gift is one. It is the gift of Himself.
