Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.

It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.

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.

Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?

If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.

I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for.
