To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.

Patience has the meaning of testing-a thing drawn out and tested, drawn out to the last strand in a strain without breaking, and ending in sheer joy. The strain on a violin string when stretched to the uttermost gives it its strength; and the stronger the strain, the finer is the sound of our life for God, and He never strains more than we are able to bear.

The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.

We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there; but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.

The only basis on which to work for God is an esteemed appreciation of his deliverance.

Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.

Watch human nature; we are so built that if we do not get thrilled in the right way, we will get thrilled in the wrong. If we are without the thrill of communion with God, we will try to get thrilled by the devil, or by some concoction of human ingenuity.
