Never be hurried out of the relationship of abiding in Him.

The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.

The test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.

When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible's idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

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

Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
