God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

The God who guides the stars, unhasting and unresting, will as assuredly fulfill what He has promised.

Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth.

Narrow all your interests until the attitude of mind and heart and body is concentration on Jesus Christ.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
