The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.

In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.

Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like; it means being free to do as we ought.

Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.

For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.

God himself took this human flesh upon him.
