“Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.”

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.

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

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.

If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.

The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

You can’t live with no passion, no zeal: get up, go to work, come home, do it all again. That flame won’t grow without you stirring it.

Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to help you realise your hidden potential and power, let difficulties know that you too are difficult.

If you’re feeling low, don’t despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

The whisky brings back all the memories of you.

Baby I’m a pro at letting go, I love it when they come and go.

It is only after the deepest darkness that the greatest light can come; it is only after extreme grief that the greatest joy can come.
