'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.

The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.

The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon

If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.

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.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.
