I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'

Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.

The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life.

The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.
