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

If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.

The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.

Suppose God wants to teach you to say, "I know how to be abased"--are you ready to be offered up like that? Are you ready to be not so much as a drop in a bucket--to be so hopelessly insignificant that you are never thought of again in connection with the life you served? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister?

It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
