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

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing- that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God’s assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.

Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.

God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

Why shouldn’t we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?
