My worth to God in public is what I am in private.

Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.

Spiritual lust--'I must have it at once'--causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God himself who gives the answer. Is today 'the third day' and He has still not done what I expected? Whenever we insist that God should give us an answer to prayer we are off track. The purpose of prayer is that we get a hold of God, not of the answer.

How many people have you made homesick for God?

The test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is.

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.
