christian inspiration opportunity
Satan is so much more in earnest than we are--he buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost.
christian heart light
Does it not stir up our hearts, to go forth and help them, does it not make us long to leave our luxury, our exceeding abundant light, and go to them that sit in darkness?
spiritual taken maturity
Sometimes when we read the words of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But they won through step by step, by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories, by faithfulness in very little things. They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment.
sweet water jars
If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary love. For a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted.
spiritual enemy possibility
Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience.
prayer soul relief
It is a solemn thing to find oneself drawn out in prayer which knows no relief till the soul it is burdened with is born. It is no less solemn afterwards, until Christ is formed in them.
imagine lord
Our loving Lord is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine - so near that a whisper can reach Him.
acceptance perfect joy
Joy is not gush. Joy is not mere jolliness. Joy is perfect acquiescence ~ acceptance, rest ~ in God’s will, whatever comes.
humility firsts honest
If I cannot in honest happiness take the second place (or the twentieth); if I cannot take the first without making a fuss about my unworthiness, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
spiritual men secret
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.
christian inspiration joy
There is nothing dreary or doubtful about (the life). It is meant to be continually joyful...We are called to a settled happiness in the Lord whose joy is our strength.
water matter cups
A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
christian grace thank-god
Thank God, He does not measure grace out in teaspoons.
remember
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey...
