God is nearer to you than any thought or feeling of yours... Do not be afraid.

I saw thee ne'er before; I see thee never more; But love, and help, and pain, beautiful one, Have made thee mine, till all my years are done.

It is not the high summer alone that is God's. The winter also is His. And into His winter He came to visit us. And all man's winters are His - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality; what men call death is but a shadow.

What I would say is this, that the light is not blinding because God would hide, but because the truth is too glorious for our vision.

God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth.

The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
