We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.

No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit

In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.

Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.

We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

Don't read to remember; read to realize.

Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
