If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God's story never ends with 'ashes.

Loneliness comes over us sometimes as a sudden tide. It is one of the terms of our humanness, and, in a sense, therefore, incurable. Yet I have found peace in my loneliest times not only through acceptance of the situation, but through making it an offering to God, who can transfigure it into something for the good of others.

A real woman understands that man was created to be the initiator, and she operates on that premise. This is primarily a matter of attitude. I am convinced that the woman who understands and accepts with gladness the difference between masculine and feminine will be, without pretense or self-consciousness, womanly.

I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.

God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.
