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

We trample the blood of the Son of God underfoot if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.

When we say "Thy will be done," do we say it with a sigh? If so, we have never realized that the character of God is holy love; nothing can ever happen outside His purposeful will.

We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.

Whenever the conviction of God's Spirit comes there is the softening of the whole nature to obey; but if the obedience is not instant there will come a metallic hardening and a corrupting of the guidance of God.

The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.

In the spiritual domain, criticism is love turned sour. In a wholesome spiritual life there is no room for criticism. The critical faculty is an intellectual one, not a moral one. If criticism becomes a habit it will destroy the moral energy of the life and paralyse spiritual force. The only person who can criticise human beings is the Holy Spirit.
