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.

Some of His children must go into the furnace to testify that the Son of God is there with them.

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

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.

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

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.
