Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.

Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference

In the spiritual domain, criticism is love turned sour... If criticism becomes a habit, it will destroy the moral energy of the life and paralyze the spiritual force... Whenever you are in a critical temper, it is impossible to enter into communion with God. Criticism makes you hard and vindictive and cruel, and leaves you with the flattering unction that you are a superior person. It is impossible to develop the characteristics of a saint and maintain a critical attitude.

But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
