One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit.

God’s training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. we have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we can get it wrong when we think of the afterwards. what men call training and preparation, God calls the end… if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment is precious.

We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.

We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.

Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.

When we say "Thy will be done," do we say it with a sigh? If so, we have never realized that the character of God is holy love; nothing can ever happen outside His purposeful will.

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.
