God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.

It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.

The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.

Prayer is often a temptation to bank on a miracle of God instead of on a moral issue, i.e., it is much easier to ask God to do my work than it is to do it myself. Until we are disciplined properly, we will always be inclined to bank on God's miracles and refuse to do the moral thing ourselves. It is our job, and it will never be done unless we do it.

People say that it is so hard to bring Jesus Christ and present him before the lives of men today. Of course it is. It is so hard that it is impossible except by the power of the indwelling Holy Ghost.
