Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him; and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.

You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the univerise in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built.

The essence of religion, in my view, is the thirst for an end higher than natural ends.

Surely what a man does when he is taken off guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is. If there are rats in a cellar, you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats; it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me ill tempered; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am.

When you argue against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.

Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.

God's love is not wearied by our sins & is relentless in its determination that we be cured at whatever cost to us or Him
