An easy, non-self-denying life will never be one of power.

Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them.

Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.

All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.

it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.

Our joy in Him may be a fluctuating thing: His joy in us knows no change.
