My most earnest of all pleas to singles is abandonment of the self, surrender to Christ of all unfulfilled longings, an unequivocal willingness to receive whatever God assigns, and a determination to practice the sacrificial principle of Isaiah 58:10-11. Life becomes not only far simpler, but surprisingly joyful and free.

There is no need for faith where there is no consciousness of an element of risk.

Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!

God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

Worry is the antithesis of trust. You simply cannot do both. They are mutually exclusive.

The Bible doesn't explain everything necessary for our intellectual satisfaction, but it explains everything necessary for our obediance.
