God means just what He says and He will do all that He has promised.

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

Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.

I myself, for instance, am not especially gifted, and am shy by nature, but my gracious and merciful God and Father inclined Himself to me, and when I was weak in faith He strengthened me while I was still young. He taught me in my helplessness to rest on Him, and to pray even about little things in which another might have felt able to help himself.

We have heard of many people who trusted God too little, but have you ever heard of anyone who trusted Him too much?

Would that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest; heaven so real that we must have men there, Christ so real that our supreme motive and aim shall be to make the Man of Sorrows the Man of Joy by the conversion to him of many.

Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.
