No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harboured in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline

When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we "pretend" that we are seeking.

If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.

Grace does not choose a man and leave him as he is.

The best way to live above all fear of death is to die every morning before you leave your bedroom.

Humility is to make a right estimate of oneself. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought.

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. A mouse may find a hole, be the room ever so full of cats.
