God answers prayer on the ground of Redemption and on no other ground.

God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.

Refusing to be disillusioned is the cause of much of the suffering of human life. And this is how that suffering happens-if we love someone, but do not love God, we demand total perfection and righteousness from that person, and when we do not get it, we become cruel and vindictive; yet we are demanding of a human being which he or she cannot possibly give.

Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?

We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

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!

Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.
