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

We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails. When 'important' individuals go away we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go, so that only one thing is left for us to do--to look into the face of God for ourselves.

When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.

The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us. God calls us to His service and places tremendous responsibilitie s on us. He expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son.

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

We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.
