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

Ah, what a life is theirs who live in Christ; How vast the mystery! Reaching in height to heaven, and in its depth The unfathomed sea!

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

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!

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

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

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.
