That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.

The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.

For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.

Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.

Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves to share in the expression of His.

He is no fool who parts with that which he cannot keep, when he is sure to be recompensed with that which he cannot lose.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
