The nearer a man lives to God, the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart." -Charles Spurgeon

When your will is God's will, you will have your will.

By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

Let your cares drive you to God. I shall not mind if you have many of them if each one leads you to prayer. If every fret makes you lean more on the Beloved, it will be a benefit.

You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.

O child of God, be more careful to keep the way of the Lord, more concentrated in heart in seeking His glory, and you will see the loving-kindness and the tender mercy of the Lord in your life.

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.

I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him.

If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.

Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!

Love Is How You Dress

The only person that deserves to ask for miracles is someone who is qualified.

It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.

Men subsequently put whatever is newly learned or experienced to use as a plowshare, perhaps even as a weapon: but women immediately include it among their ornaments.

I'm not an outdoors person by instinct or nature. I'm more of a city person.

The mind is like a sheet of white paper in this, that the impressions it receives the oftenest, and retains the longest, are black ones.

I would live in a world of Christ-like humans, but not one full of Christians, may God forgive me.

Just as those who are deprived of light cannot walk straight, so also those who do not behold the ray of the Holy Scriptures must necessarily sin, since they walk in the deepest darkness.

I am one of those people who quite enjoys responsibility.

Stick around long enough to be someone's friend. Because true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.
