Narrow all your interests until the attitude of mind and heart and body is concentration on Jesus Christ.

The passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.

We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'

The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.

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.

The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.

Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
