The Christian life is stamped by 'moral spontaneous originality,' consequently the disciple is open to the same charge that Jesus Christ was, viz., that of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds. Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it- something good, but not what is best.

God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

The God who guides the stars, unhasting and unresting, will as assuredly fulfill what He has promised.

The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.
