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

Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience.

If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God.

Your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit.

To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.

Pray because you have a Father, not because it quietens you, and give Him time to answer.

Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.
