O Love of God, do this for me: Maintain a constant victory.

If you have never been hurt by a word from God, it is probably that you have never heard God speak.

If I am content to heal a hurt slightly, saying "Peace, peace," where is no peace; if I forget the poignant word "Let love be without dissimulation" and blunt the edge of truth, speaking not right things but smooth things, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

He hath never failed thee yet. Never will His love forget. O fret not thyself nor let Thy heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid.

Thou art the Lord who slept upon the pillow, Thou art the Lord who soothed the furious sea, What matters beating wind and tossing billow If only we are in the boat with Thee? Hold us quiet through the age-long minute While Thou art silent and the wind is shrill : Can the boat sink while Thou, dear Lord, are in it; Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?

Part of a soldier's duty is to fill gaps...one must be willing to be nothing, as something.

A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
