If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.

I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?

I met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad; and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.

He casts our sins behind His back, He blots them out; He says that though they be sought for, they shall not be found.

Where God works, He works with men that work.

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.

Suffering is better than sinning. There is more evil in a drop of sin than in an ocean of affliction. Better, burn for Christ, than turn from Christ.
