True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.

You must keep all earthy treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.

The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.

Show the world that your God is worth ten thousand worlds to you. Show rich men how rich you are in your poverty when the Lord God is your helper. Show the strong man how strong you are in your weakness when underneath you are the everlasting arms.

A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord.

Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.

Come as you are. If you are the blackest soul out of hell, trust Christ, and that act of trust shall make you clean.
