“A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.”

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.

Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!

I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

Our Heavenly Healer often has to hurt us in order to heal us. We sometimes fail to recognize His mighty love in this, yet we are firmly held always in the Everlasting Arms.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.

God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.

Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.

Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.

I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.

God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.

The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God, or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.

And every day I thank [God] that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son is not an orphan.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

And every day I thank [God] that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son is not an orphan.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I don’t believe in God, so I’m not afraid of dying.

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

With God, every day matters, every person counts. And that includes you.

Your separation from God is the hardest work you will ever do.
