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

Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith; faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is.

Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.

When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.

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.
