The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.

O that men would know themselves to be men; and that he that glorieth would glory in the Lord.

We come to God by love and not by navigation.

Lord, who art always the same, give that I know myself, give that I know Thee.

Your first task is to be dissatisfied with yourself, fight sin, and transform yourself into something better. Your second task is to put up with the trials and temptations of this world that will be brought on by the change in your life and to persevere to the very end in the midst of these things.

You are my Lord, because You have no need of my goodness.

Love and say it with your life.
