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

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.

Go home and say to yourself, ‘I am a wayward, foolish child. But He loves me! I have disobeyed and grieved Him ten thousand times. But He loves me! I have lost faith in some of my dearest friends and am very desolate. But He loves me! I do not love Him, I am even angry with Him! But He loves me!

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

The thorny path bears some of the sweetest flowers that adorn life. And when with naked, bleeding feet we walk upon a flinty soil, we often find diamonds.
