The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.

A practical help in keeping your personal purity unblemished in your relations with other people is to begin to see them as God does. Say to yourself, “That man or that woman is perfect in Christ Jesus! That friend or that relative is perfect in Christ Jesus!

Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us- and we cannot measure that at all

God does not make us holy in the sense of character; He makes us holy in the sense of innocence, and we have to turn that innocence into holy character by a series of moral choices.

Continually revise your relationship to God until the only certainty you have is not that you are faithful, but that He is.

Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
