The way from God to a human heart is through a human heart.

Spirit discernment is rare because it is expensive. It means a sensitive conscience, an instructed understanding through study of the Book of God. It means a passion for purity, for truth, for the right, for Christ Himself, and for living uncompromisingly true in the daily habit. All this lies back of a seeing spirit eye. And these things cost. Discernment is expensive.

If there be anything that can render the soul calm, dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears, sweeten its sufferings by the anointing of love, impart strength to all its actions, and spread abroad the joy of the Holy Spirit in its countenance and words, it is this simple and childlike repose in the arms of God.

The real victory in all service is won in secret beforehand by prayer.

If we lose the spirit of 'go,' we have lost the very Christian spirit itself. A disobedient church will become a dead church. It will die of heart failure.

Prayer is partnership with God in His planet-sized purposes, and includes the "all things" beside, as an important detail of the whole.

No man's hand has ever yet reached up to take as much as the Pierced Hand is reaching down to give.
