At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus.

We grow small trying to be great.

All coming to Jesus has the feeling of homecoming upon it. All going away from Him has the sense of estrangement upon it. The rich young ruler went away from Jesus "sorrowful." Everybody does. Not only estrangement from God, but also estrangement from oneself. And the universe! And from life! You are not at home with life, unless you are at home with Life. And Jesus is Life!

Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation, nor does it mean freedom from mistakes.

While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.

Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
