Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.

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.

The Bible does not thrill; the Bible nourishes. Give time to the reading of the Bible and the recreating effect is as real as that of fresh air physically.

Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.

We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

I am called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that my life produces a yearning for God in the lives of others, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
