One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.

We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.

Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.

Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.

There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all cost, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. (This includes meeting the needs of your heart.) One individual life may be of priceless value to God's purposes, and yours may be that life.

Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.

If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
