The heart which has no agenda but God's is the heart at leisure from itself. Its emptiness is filled with the Love of God. Its solitude can be turned into prayer.

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!

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

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

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

Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.

Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ''in spirit and in truth.'' Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.

Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.

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

To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.

I think a good book is a good book forever.I don't think they get less good because times change.

There's some sorta big bar-be-que goin' on here in turn three. There's smoke all over the track! Some fan's got a big one goin' on.

Fear can be a natural ally, a homemade power source... Staying in the present, fear can only help you.

Awe is the best drug in the world

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky were not classical musicians while they were alive and active, they were the rock stars of their day.

I'm always resisting [my muse]. I'm resisting her power.

When you are saying you want to feel good, what you really are saying is you want to feel God: I want my thoughts to be the same as the source from which I emanated.
