Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.

Keep your life in its constant contact with God that his surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as he likes.

Beware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.

Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.

There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.

Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.

God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.
