Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we’ve lost ‘Tis scored; ‘Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.

Food ought not hinder our fellowship with God since it is to be taken purely to preserve the body in health.

Outside Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full.

An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust.
