Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.

Which are the people who have influenced us most? Not the ones who thought they did, but those who had not the remotest notion that they were influencing us. In the Christian life, the implicit is never conscious, if it is conscious it ceases to have this unaffected loveliness which is the characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

I am called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that my life produces a yearning for God in the lives of others, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.

Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.

There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.
