When we travel life's roads with those we love, the point of destination is always secondary to the quality of the journey.

God's preparation for greatness in His Kingdom is often filled with difficult preparation.

To God, our journey is as important as our destinations.

It's no good to sit up and take notice if we just keep on sitting.

A crushing hurt comes to our heart and the sympathizing, scarred hand of Christ presses the wound; and just for a moment, the pain seems to intensify,...but finally the bleeding stops.

The Christian's hope for the future must have a sanctifying influence upon the present.

The human race is divided into two classes — those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit still and inquire, "Why wasn't it done the other way?

There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.

The great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not.

Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-things over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.

It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him; for the one is unbelief - the other is contempt.

If God would concede to me His omnipotence for twenty-four hours, you would see how many changes I would make in this world. But if He gave me His wisdom, too, I would leave things as they are.

Christianity can never come to us as a bargain; it can never be had at wholesale price. We must be willing to pay the full price of surrender and trust.

It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found - in loving obedience.

Have no fear for the unsettlement or the disturbance of the Kingdom of heaven. It began in eternity, it will go on through everlasting; there is no panic in the divine personality. God is peace, God gives peace, God gives rest.

The lowest station in the Lord's house is better than the highest position among the godless. To bear burdens and open doors for the Lord is more honor than to reign among the wicked. Every man has his choice, and this is ours. God's worst is better than the devil's best.

All but God is changing day by day.

I often wonder if my knowledge about God has not become my greatest stumbling block to my knowledge of God.

Victory is the place where our breaking point becomes our turning point.

God is, and all is well.

Righteousness is just rightness. Sometimes we make it too theological as a Biblical word. Rightness is not easy of definition, but everybody knows what it is. We are conscious of rightness even if we cannot adequately define it.

In the most lopsided deal of all time, Jesus took our filthy rags of sin and gave us His robe of righteousness. Our righteousness is not our own, it is from Him. Dare we brag of our goodness now?

Brotherhood doesn't come in a package. It is not a commodity to be taken down from the shelf with one hand — it is an accomplishment of soul-searching, prayer and perseverance.

Our ground of hope is that God does not weary of mankind.

A blind, anemic, weak-kneed flea on crutches would have a greater chance of defeating a herd of a thousand wild stampeding elephants, than the enemy has of defeating God.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace. It is so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

We love the Lord, of course, but we often wonder what He finds in us.

Christians are supposed to not merely endure the “change for good”, not even to profit by it, but to cause it.

Against the backdrop of people who avoid work, cut corners, and do half-hearted jobs, a diligent man stands out. Practicing diligence is an excellent way to stand out for Christ at home, in the workplace, and even at church. Today, complete each one of your tasks, however big or small, with diligence.

Perhaps God brings us to the end of our resources so we can discover the vastness of His.
