When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr; or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem the world.

Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.
giving succeed holy
There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself. If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you - and His experiments always succeed.
jesus devotion easier
The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
spiritual prayer irritation
If we pray only because we want answers, we will become irritated and angry with God. We receive an answer every time we pray, but it does not always come in the way we expect, and our spiritual irritation shows our refusal to identify ourselves truly with our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove that God answers prayer, but to be living trophies of God’s grace.
jesus attitude heart
Narrow all your interests until the attitude of mind and heart and body is concentration on Jesus Christ.

But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.

The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.

The marvelous thing about spiritual wealth is that when we take our part in that, everyone else is blessed; whereas if we refused to be partakers, we hinder others from entering into the riches of God.
hands judging might
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'
heart safe firsts
No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
giving minutes domain
Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the domain of drudgery by the power of God.
jesus ideas people
People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
