crucible gold faces
When I can see my face in it [the liquid gold in the crucible] then it is pure.
victory god-love constant
O Love of God, do this for me: Maintain a constant victory.
christian inspiration feelings
Oh, will you pray? Stop now and pray, lest desire turn to feeling and feeling evaporate.
christian running sweet
If I am inconsiderate about the comfort of others, or their feelings, or even of their little weaknesses; if I am careless about their little hurts and miss opportunities to smooth their way; if I make the sweet running of household wheels more difficult to accomplish, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
christian inspiration asking
The mere telling of how a need was met is often like telling of a need, which is asking crookedly instead of straight out. But this much I will say--with every fresh need has come a fresh supply.
crush loss omnipotence
Can we accept the unexplained, the loss, The crushing agony, and hold us still. And nowhere is that clearer vision given Which pierces a bewildering providence, And opens windows upon highest heaven, But where we see Suffering Omnipotence.
disappointment passion fire
Give me the Love that leads the way The Faith that nothing can dismay The Hope no disappointments tire The Passion that'll burn like fire Let me not sink to be a clod Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God
father heart giving
We knew our Father. There was no need for persuasion. Would not His Fatherliness be longing to give us our hearts' desire (if I may put it so)? How could we press Him as though He were not our own most loving Father?
pain house rooms
There are many rooms in the House of Pain.
feet littles delight
Ours should be the love that asks not 'how little?' but, 'how much?' The love that delights to pour out everything upon the feet of our Beloved.
silly soul training
The best training is to learn to accept everything as it comes, as from Him whom our soul loves. The tests are always unexpected things, not great things that can be written up, but the common little rubs of life, silly little nothings, things you are ashamed of minding one scrap
miracle wonder apostolic
I don't wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.
soldier gaps duty
Part of a soldier's duty is to fill gaps...one must be willing to be nothing, as something.
long wish way
I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.
