Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time or great personal growth ahead.

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.

I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.

We must learn to live in the ordinary 'gray' day according to what we saw on the mountain.

Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.
