It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
Child of God, you cost Christ too much for him to forget you.
Jesus wept, but He never complained.
We must all learn to hear what we do not like. The question is not, 'Is it pleasant?' but, 'Is it true?'
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Discernment is not a matter of telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right.
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.
The early morning hour should be dedicated to praise: do not the birds set us the example?
Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus Christ to keep you out of hell.

God alone can do what seems impossible. This is the promise of his grace: 'I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten' (Joel 2:25). God can give back all those years of sorrow, and you will be the better for them. God will grind sunlight out of your black nights. In the oven of affliction, grace will prepare the bread of delight. Someday you will thank God for all your sadness.
God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand.

When Satan cannot get a great sin in he will let a little one in, like the thief who goes and finds shutters all coated with iron and bolted inside. At last he sees a little window in a chamber. He cannot get in, so he puts a little boy in, that he may go round and open the back door. So the devil has always his little sins to carry about with him to go and open back doors for him, and we let one in and say, 'O, it is only a little one.' Yes, but how that little one becomes the ruin of the entire man!
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.

It was God's word that made us; is it any wonder that His word should sustain us?
Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.
Every growth of spiritual life, from the first tender shoot until now, has been the work of the Holy Spirit.... The only way to more life is the Holy Spirit. You will not even know that you want more unless He works in you to desire it.... The Spirit of God must come and make the letter alive, transfer it to your heart, set it on fire, and make it burn within you, or else its divine force and majesty will be hid from your eyes.... Prayer is the creation of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do without prayer, and we cannot pray without the Holy Spirit.

When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
