Christian contentment, therefore, is the direct fruit of having no higher ambition than to belong to the Lord and to be totally at His disposal in the place He appoints, at the time He chooses, with the provision He is pleased to make.

Be obedient even when you do not know where obedience may lead you

No one can will the will to will what it will not will!

When I look at the cross, I learn to say: 'The Son of God loved me, and gave Himself for me' (Galatians 2:20). I begin to believe with Paul that if God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up to the cross for me, then He loves me so much He will always give me only what will bring me blessing (Romans 8:32).

The Father did not require the death of Christ to persuade Him to love us. Christ died because the Father loves us.

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

We discover the will of God by a sensitive application of Scripture to our own lives.
