But there is another danger besetting your path. I mean the error of regarding your own capacities instead of your work, of putting self-consciousness in place of God.

It is strange to reflect how much energy is thrown away in attempting to know the unknowable.

Yes, God is the end of your work, but He is the beginning also.

Absolve me, teach me, purify me, strengthen me: take me to Thyself, that I may be Thine and Thine only.

Eternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love; these only can triumph, for these only can endure.

The tillage of the soil occupies the vast majority of those who work for their own bread.

There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.
