At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God's hand until we learn to hear Him...Watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet...When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light.

It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God: but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes

To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.

Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.

You say, "But He has not answered." He has, He is so near to you that His silence is the answer. His silence is big with terrific meaning that you cannot understand yet, but presently you will.

Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious.There's only one master of the heart-Jesus, not religion.

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.
