The Greatest Answer To Prayer Is That I Am Brought Into A Perfect Understanding With God, And That Alters My View Of Actual Things.

A Saint Realizes That It Is God Who Engineers His Circumstances; Consequently There Are No Complaints, Only Unrestrained Surrender To Jesus.

The Test Of A Man’s Religious Life And Character Is Not What He Does In The Exceptional Moments Of Life, But What He Does In The Ordinary Times, When There Is Nothing Tremendous Or Exciting On. The Worth Of A Man Is Revealed In His Attitude To Ordinary Things When He Is Not Before The Footlights.
