When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own

The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great.

The Lord Jesus, everything. In himself worse than nothing. By grace, in Christ, the son of the King.

When sight ceases, it is the time for faith to work. The greater the difficulties, the easier it is for faith. As long as human possibilities for success remain, faith does not accomplish things as easily as when all natural prospects fail.

I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished...I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.

Be assured that Christianity is something more than forms and creeds and ceremonies: there is life, and power, and reality, in our holy faith.

There is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing.
