God never fits His word to suit me; He fits me to suit His word.

The prayer of the saints is never self-important, but always God-important.

God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having - viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life.

Never run away with the idea that it doesn't matter much what we believe or think; it does. What we believe and think, we are; not what we say we believe and think, but what we really do believe and think, we are; there is no divorce at all.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
