We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.

We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.

I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

The great paralysis of our heart is unbelief.

Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship - when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.
