“God works in his elect in two ways: inwardly, by his Spirit; outwardly, by his Word.”

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.

The fire of affliction reveals the quality of our faith.

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.

There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

There is no such crime as a crime of thought; there are only crimes of action.

Too many people don’t care what happens so long as it doesn’t happen to them.

Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear.

Let us ask God to make us true in our love, to make us sacrificial beings, for it seems to me that sacrifice is only love put into action.

They who pray with faith have fervour and fervour is the fire of prayer. This mysterious fire has the power of consuming all our faults and imperfections, and of giving to our actions, vitality, beauty and merit.

There comes a time when you have to put forth the action and actually see whether you’re really just talking to promote yourself, just to sell yourself, or to build your confidence or build confidence around you… or are you the real deal?

In the story, I was the woman of words, where you couldn’t be a man of actions. At least my words weren’t a lie.

Self love is not something you feel, but rather something you do each day.
