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

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.

We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.

Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me? There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

If I obey Jesus Christ in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God.
