Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.

God works this unspeakable mystery of entire sanctification in your life and mine. People try to seek the experience of entire sanctification in ways other than God's way; but the wonderful Spirit of God will remove confusion and enable us to see that the only means to obtain the experience of entire sanctification by faith is the grace of God.

We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.

I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.

God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.

There is always one fact more in every man's case about which we know nothing.

Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.
