A Ready Person Never Needs To Get

In The Spiritual Domain, Criticism Is Love Turned Sour... If Criticism Becomes A Habit, It Will Destroy The Moral Energy Of The Life And Paralyze The Spiritual Force... Whenever You Are In A Critical Temper, It Is Impossible To Enter Into Communion With God. Criticism Makes You Hard And Vindictive And Cruel, And Leaves You With The Flattering Unction That You Are A Superior Person. It Is Impossible To Develop The Characteristics Of A Saint And Maintain A Critical Attitude.

God Does Not Make Us Holy In The Sense Of Character; He Makes Us Holy In The Sense Of Innocence, And We Have To Turn That Innocence Into Holy Character By A Series Of Moral Choices.

Continually Revise Your Relationship To God Until The Only Certainty You Have Is Not That You Are Faithful, But That He Is.

We Look Upon Prayer Simply As A Means Of Getting Things For Ourselves, But The Biblical Purpose Of Prayer Is That We May Get To Know God Himself.

We Think Of Prayer As A Preparation For Work, Or A Calm After Having Done Work, Whereas Prayer Is The Essential Work.
