Being filled with the Spirit is simply this - having my whole nature yielded to His power. When the whole soul is yielded to the Holy Spirit, God Himself will fill it.

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

God cannot hear the prayers on our lips often because the desires of our heart after the world cry out to Him much more strongly and loudly than the our desires for Him.

Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.

Humility is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust.

As natural and easy as it has been to be proud, it must become natural for us to be humble.

Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.
