I have felt the impact of your prayer in these past weeks. I am certain now that nothing has had a more powerful infl uence on this life of mine than your prayers.

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

Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on Earth! I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him. Mayhap in mercy He shall give me a host of children that I may lead them through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose finger ends set them to burning. But if not, if only I may see Him, touch His garments, smile into His eyes - ah then, not stars nor children shall matter, only Himself.

Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.

Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!

What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
