We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armour. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it.
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand.
The higher the stakes, the greater the temptation to lose your temper.
Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror.
If He who in Himself can lack nothing, chooses to need us, it is because we need to be needed.
