We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, and He packs our life with surprises all the time.... Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come.

The whole idea of the prayers of the saints is that God's holiness, God's purpose, God's ways may be brought about irrespective of who comes or goes.

The thing that awakens the deepest fountain of gratitude in a human being is that God has forgiven his sin.

Get into the habit of saying, ''Speak, Lord,'' and life will become a romance.

Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

The whole point of getting things done is knowing what to leave undone.

We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.
