Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.

We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.

When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him.

It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

The prayer of the saints is never self-important, but always God-important.

When we discern that people are not going on spiritually and allow the discernment to turn to criticism, we block our way to God. God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede

Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ.
