Tears are the material out of which heaven weaves its brightest rainbow.
Jesus Christ has bought us with His blood, but, alas, He has not had His money’s worth! He paid for ALL, and He has had but a fragment of our energy, time and earnings. By an act of consecration, let us ask Him to forgive the robbery of the past, and let us profess our desire to be henceforth utterly and only for Him – His slaves, owning no master other than Himself.
The supreme test of goodness is not in the greater but in the smaller incidents of our character and practice.
It is impossible to be our best at the supreme moment if character is corroded and eaten into by daily inconsistency, unfaithfulness, and besetting sin.
Let each of us learn to abide in Christ with the heart open to Him on the one hand, and open to men, women and children on the other.

God has set Eternity in our heart, and man’s infinite capacity cannot be filled or satisfied with the things of time and sense.
Faith bears Fruit. It cannot help it, because it links the soul with Christ, so that the energy of His life pours into it through the artery of faith, and, as it comes in, so it must make a way for itself out.
In the sequel of our life’s story we shall see that there was a meaning and necessity in all the previous incidents, save those which were the result of our own folly and sin, and that even these have been made to contribute to the final result.
God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us.
Your foes may be numerous as the devils in hell, strong and wily; but He will save.
When we want to know God’s will, there are three things which always concur: the inward impulse, the Word of God and the trend of circumstances. Never act until these three things agree.
We never test the resources of God until we attempt the impossible.
As we pour out our bitterness, God pours in his peace.
We must be still before God.
The man who prays grows, and the muscles of the soul swell from this whipcord to iron bands.
The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, buy unoffered prayer.
Fall on your knees and grow there. There is no burden of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it. Prayer means not always talking to Him, but waiting before Him till the dust settles and the stream runs clear.
The certainty of our salvation rests on the character of God.
