Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

Patience has the meaning of testing-a thing drawn out and tested, drawn out to the last strand in a strain without breaking, and ending in sheer joy. The strain on a violin string when stretched to the uttermost gives it its strength; and the stronger the strain, the finer is the sound of our life for God, and He never strains more than we are able to bear.

We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.

Nothing in our lives is a mere insignificant detail to God.

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
