Faith has nothing to do with circumstances, it deals entirely with the Word of God.

The man who forms the habit of beginning without finishing has simply formed the habit of failure.

I always thought a yard was three feet, then I started mowing the lawn.

Our character is determined by what we do if every restraint were removed.

In times of uncertainty, wait. Always, if you have any doubt, wait. Do not force yourself to any action. If you have a restraint in your spirit, wait until all is clear, and do not go against it.

Sorrow is God's plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests. If we had never fallen, or were in a glorified state, then the strong torrents of Divine joy would be the normal force to open up all our souls' capacities; but in a fallen world, sorrow, with despair taken out of it, is the chosen power to reveal ourselves to ourselves. Hence it is sorrow that makes us think deeply, long, and soberly.

The worker is far more important to our Lord than the work.
