I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.

Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Obedience is the key that opens every door.

The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.

One of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself.

The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.

We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.
