Cold prayers, like cold suitors, are seldom effective in their aims.

The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.

Are you afraid? Remember the "fear nots" of the Bible.

True faith goes into operation when there are no answers.

Discipline, for the Christian, begins with the body. We have only one. It is this body that is the primary material given to us for sacrifice. We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.

Ordinary work, which is what most of us do, most of the time, is ordained by God every bit as much as is the extraordinary.

To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
