In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus at all costs.

The knowledge that God has loved me beyond all limits will compel me to go into the world to love others in the same way.

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .

Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me? There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself? 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, and He has to get me into the attitude of mind and spirit where at any cost I will let Him sanctify me wholly.

Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.

Keep your life in its constant contact with God that his surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as he likes.
