It is better to run the risk of being considered indecisive, better to be uncertain and not promise, than to promise and not fulfill.

When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.

It is impossible to conduct your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer

Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer. He taught that prayers are always answered: “Everyone who asks receives”. And He implied that prayers are answered rightly because of the heavenly Father's wisdom: “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him”.

The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
