It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.

Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.

The Spirit is the first power we practically experience, but the last power we come to understand.

Keep your soul fit to manifest the life of the Son of God. Never live on memories; let the word of God be always living and active in you.

Nothing in our lives is a mere insignificant detail to God.

We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life "hidden with Christ in God" in our everyday human conditions.

God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now.
