• These dreams reminded me that, since I wished some day to become a writer, it was high time to decide what sort of books I was going to write. But as soon as I asked myself the question, and tried to discover some subject to which I could impart a philosophical significance of infinite value, my mind would stop like a clock, my consciousness would be faced with a blank, I would feel either that I was wholly devoid of talent or perhaps that some malady of the brain was hindering its development.

• We can expect God to provide everything necessary to make worship possible. We children of God must ever be dependent upon God, for we have no resources of our own. We are as impoverished in worship times as a baby unable to provide its own bottle at feeding time. God, the object of our worship, also becomes the inspiration of that worship. He has imparted His own Spirit into our hearts to energize that worship. All that is due Him comes from Him. His glorious Person evokes admiration for and honor of Him, as He imparts His nature into me.

• Not a flower
  But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,
  Of his unrivall'd pencil. He inspires
  Their balmy odors, and imparts their hues,
  And bathes their eyes with nectar, and includes
  In grains as countless as the seaside sands,
  The forms with which he sprinkles all the earth
  Happy who walks with him!

  William Cowper
