The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.

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

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.

With Christ, it is not how much we give, but what we do not give that is the real test.

Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

A practical help in keeping your personal purity unblemished in your relations with other people is to begin to see them as God does. Say to yourself, “That man or that woman is perfect in Christ Jesus! That friend or that relative is perfect in Christ Jesus!

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have, Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.
