Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.

When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.

The agony of a man's affliction is often necessary to put him into the right mood to face the fundamental things of life. The Psalmist says: "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word.

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that; but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.

When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
