Only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the Master's use.

Oh this is reality, not a fable, that the Lord Jesus Christ is our friend. And we should not be satisfied until we are brought to this.

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were of no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer...

Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.

The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord.

The greater the trial, the sweeter the victory.

I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
