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.

No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.

I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.

There have been prophets and students who handle the Bible like a child's box of bricks; they explain to us the design and structure and purpose; but as time goes on things do not work out in their way at all. They have mistaken the scaffolding for the structure, while all the time God is working out His purpose with a great and undeterred patience.
