You are saved - seek to be like your Savior.

True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.

Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.

I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.

Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.

Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.
