This is what you are here for: to glorify God and enjoy Him thoroughly and forever, telling the universe how great God is.

Every advance that we make for God and for His cause must be made at our inconvenience. If it does not inconvenience us at all, there is no cross in it.

Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.

How unutterably sweet is the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows us completely. No talebearer can inform on us; no enemy can make an accusation stick; no forgotten skeleton can come tumbling out of some hidden closet to abash us and expose out past; no unsuspected weakness in our characters can come to light to turn God away from us, since He knew us utterly before we knew him and called us to Himself in the full knowledge of everything that was against us.

Always God’s goodness is the ground of our expectation.

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