To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.

Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.

Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint.

It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.

One of the most subtle burdens God ever puts on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of these souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them. It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.
