We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.

God will turn the might have been into a wonderful culture for the future.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God: but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes

The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God's purpose.

The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ.

God's will is hard only when it comes up against our stubbornness, then it is as cruel as a ploughshare and as devastating as an earthquake.
