Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!

The disciple is rich not in possessions, but in personal identity.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.

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

It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of all self-considerat ion and learn to care about only one thing-the relationship between Christ and ourselves.

Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.

Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
