O happy life! life hid with Christ in God! So making me At home and by the wayside and abroad, Alone with Thee.

It sweetens every bit of work to think that I am doing it in humble, far-off, yet real imitation of Jesus.

The longer I live the more conscious I am of human frailty, and of the constant, overwhelming need we all have of God’s grace.

If the loss of your fortune gains Christ for you, it will be a beautiful loss.

Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Take what I cannot give: my heart, body, thoughts, time, abilities, money, health, strength, nights, days, youth, age, and spend them in Thy service, 0 my crucified Master, Redeemer, God. Oh, let not these be mere words! Whom have I in heaven but Thee and there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison of Thee. My heart is athirst for God.

We must be wise taskmasters and not require of ourselves what we cannot possibly perform. Recreation we must have. Otherwise, the strings of our soul, wound up to an unnatural tension, will break.

Much of my experience of life has cost me a great price and I wish to use it for strengthening and comforting other souls.
