What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.

God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.

Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.

Very few of us know anything about loyalty to Christ -- For My Sake. It is that which makes the iron saint.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship - when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.
