I am called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that my life produces a yearning for God in the lives of others, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God that man might stand before Him as He was created to do, the friend and lover of God Himself.

It must be God first, God second, and God third

It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.

I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.

Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.

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