“God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.”

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.

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.

No created mind, no created heart, no human force is capable of knowing how much love the Heart of Mary had for the Lord.

Oh my God, so many young girls now look like whores!

God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription. The Lord doesn’t promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments. He promises us Himself. That is all. And that is enough.

Practical religion consists in doing good: and the only way of serving God is that of endeavoring to make His creation happy. All preaching that has not this for its object is nonsense and hypocrisy.

True success is obeying God.

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.

We need to understand the hierarchy of connections. Ultimately, we must connect to something above ourselves such as God. This can give us the power to spread happiness and joy around the world.
