"Oh, when we are journeying through the murky night and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is something to find here and there a spray broken, or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of His foot and the brush of His hand as He passed; and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and thus to find lingering fragrance and hidden strength in the remembrance of Him as "in all points tempted like as we are," bearing grief for us, bearing grief with us, bearing grief like us."

Love is the only fire that is hot enough to melt the iron obstinacy of a creatures's will.

We 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.

If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy--think you, will death without faith do it? The cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! no! as you go down into them, you will come up from them.

We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence and that the center of the whole universe is the cross of Calvary.

The true confidence which is faith in Christ, and the true diffidence which is utter distrust of myself--are identical.

Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
