We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.

As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.

God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.

Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.

Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
