Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.

When we see Him, we will wonder that we ever could have disobeyed Him.

The inattentive, slovenly way we drift into the presence of God is an indication that we are not bothering to think about Him. Whenever our Lord spoke of prayer, He said, "Ask." It is impossible to ask if you do not concentrate.

To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

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?

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
