We do not realise that we are children of eternity. If we did, then success would be no success, and failure would be no failure to us.

God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also.

God gave you not a spirit of faithlessness, not a spirit of despair.

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

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.

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.

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