It Is Much Easier To Do Something

The Inattentive, Slovenly Way We Drift Into The Presence Of God Is An Indication That We Are Not Bothering To Think About Him. Whenever Our Lord Spoke Of Prayer, He Said, "ask." It Is Impossible To Ask If You Do Not Concentrate.

Pray Because You Have A Father, Not Because It Quietens You, And Give Him Time To Answer.

When You Pray, Things Remain The Same, But You Begin To Be Different. The Same Thing When A Man Falls In Love, His Circumstances And Conditions Remain The Same, But He Has A Sovereign Preference In His Heart For Another Person Which Transfigures Everything!

Which Are The People Who Have Influenced Us Most? Not The Ones Who Thought They Did, But Those Who Had Not The Remotest Notion That They Were Influencing Us. In The Christian Life, The Implicit Is Never Conscious, If It Is Conscious It Ceases To Have This Unaffected Loveliness Which Is The Characteristic Of The Touch Of Jesus. We Always Know When Jesus Is At Work Because He Produces In The Commonplace Something That Is Inspiring.

God Gives Us The Vision, Then He Takes Us Down To The Valley To Batter Us Into The Shape Of The Vision, And It Is In The Valley That So Many Of Us Faint And Give Way. Every Vision Will Be Made Real If We Will Have Patience.
