The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God; it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.

Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.

And it is not repentance that saves me — repentance is only the sign that I realize what God has done through Christ Jesus.

Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.

Begin to know Him now, and finish never

Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
