The Thing That Awakens The Deepest Fountain

If We Are Going To Live As Disciples Of Jesus, We Have To Remember That All Noble Things Are Difficult. The Christian Life Is Gloriously Difficult, But The Difficulty Of It Does Not Make Us Faint And Cave In, It Rouses Us Up To Overcome.

The Passion Of Christianity Comes From Deliberately Signing Away My Own Rights And Becoming A Bondservant Of Jesus Christ. Until I Do That, I Will Not Begin To Be A Saint.

God Seems To Have A Delightful Way Of Upsetting The Things We Have Calculated On Without Taking Him Into Account. We Get Into Circumstances Which Were Not Chosen By God, And Suddenly We Find We Have Been Calculating Without God; He Has Not Entered In As A Living Factor. The One Thing That Keeps Us From The Possibility Of Worrying Is Bringing God In As The Greatest Factor In All Our Calculations.

We Are Uncertain Of The Next Step, But We Are Certain Of God. Immediately We Abandon To God, And Do The Duty That Lies Nearest, And He Packs Our Life With Surprises All The Time.... Leave The Whole Thing To Him, It Is Gloriously Uncertain How He Will Come In, But He Will Come.

God Can Never Make Us Wine If We Object To The Fingers He Uses To Crush Us With.
