Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.

There are many locks in my house and all with different keys, but I have one master-key which opens them all. The Lord has many treasures and secrets all shut up from carnal minds with locks which they cannot open. But he who walks in fellowship with Jesus possesses the master-key which will open to him all the blessings of the covenant and even the very heart of God.

No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.

The wishing gate opens into nothing.

There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can; we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.

The nearer a man lives to God, the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart." -Charles Spurgeon

Jesus was a great worker, and His disciples must not be afraid of hard work.
