Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
Alexander MacLarenHere is the manliness of manhood, that a man has a good reason for what he does, and has a will in doing it.
Alexander MacLarenWe must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLarenIn making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us. A man who has not learned to say, No -who is not resolved that he will take God's way, in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery choice that woos him aside-will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies.
