A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.

Heaven is not here, it's There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for

But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.

A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.
