If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time or great personal growth ahead.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.

The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.
