We grow small trying to be great.

To talk with God, no breath is lost. Talk on! To walk with God, no strength is lost. Walk on! To wait on God, no time is lost. Wait on!

When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.

Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

The universe does not make sense without God.

Spiritual power comes out of inward fellowship with God and abandonment to his purposes.
