Thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ!

Look upon your chastening as God's chariots sent to carry your soul into the high places of spiritual achievement.

A feeling of real need is always a good enough reason to pray.

Before the acorn can bring forth the oak, it must become itself a wreck. No plant ever came from any but a wrecked seed.

God will help us become the people we are meant to be, if only we will ask Him

It is of course evident that everything in one's religious life depends upon the sort of God one worships. The character of the worshiper must necessarily be molded by the character of the object worshipped. If it is a cruel and revengeful God, or a selfish and unjust God, the worshiper will be cruel, and revengeful, and selfish, and unjust, also. If it is a loving, tender, forgiving, unselfish God, the worshiper will be loving, and tender, and forgiving, and unselfish, as well.

The time for universal praise is sure to come some day. Let us begin to do our part now.
