God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
Before God can use a man greatly he must wound him deeply.
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
When God gives us a vision, we must transact business with Him at that point, no matter what the cost.
Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
