Faith comes not through pondering but through action.

We notice the person who is for ever bowing and fussily servile, and perhaps say, How humble he is! But the truly humble person escapes notice: the world does not know him.

Faith comes not through pondering but through action.

Cast off the burden of sin and you will find within you the upward path that will make your ascent possible.

Nothing happens accidentally or in such a way that you cannot learn from it; you must understand this at once, for this is how your trust grows in the Lord whom you have chosen to follow.

Thus you are led from moment to moment in your halter of preoccupation with self, and kindled instantly to displeasure, impatience or anger if an obstacle intervenes.

However weighed down and entangled in earthly fetters you may be, it can never be too late.
