This Is Faith: A Renouncing Of Everything

I Compare The Troubles Which We Have To Undergo In The Course Of The Year To A Great Bundle Of Sticks, Far Too Large For Us To Lift. But God Does Not Require Us To Carry The Whole At Once. He Mercifully Unties The Bundle, And Gives Us First One Stick, Which We Are To Carry Today, And Then Another, Which We Are To Carry Tomorrow, And So On. This We Might Easily Manage, If We Would Only Take The Burden Appointed For Us Each Day; But We Choose To Increase Our Troubles By Carrying Yesterday's Stick Over Again Today, And Adding Tomorrow's Burden To Our Load, Before We Are Required To Bear It.

How Many Times Has He Delivered Me! Yet, Alas! How Distrustful And Ungrateful Is My Heart Even Until The Present!

Let Me Endeavor To Lead You Out Of Yourself: Let Me Invite You To Look Unto Jesus.

There Are Many Who Stumble In The Noon-day, Not For Want Of Light, But For Want Of Eyes.

I Am Persuaded That Love And Humility Are The Highest Attainments In The School Of Christ And The Brightest Evidences That He Is Indeed Our Master.
