Holiness, Not Happiness, Is The

We Can Never Be Like Lillies In The Garden Unless We Have Spent Time As Bulbs In The Dark, Totally Ignored.

Our Prayers Are Heard, Not Because We Are In Earnest, Not Because We Suffer, But Because Jesus Suffered.

The Test Of The Life Of A Saint Is Not Success, But Faithfulness In Human Life As It Actually Is.

We Think Rightly Or Wrongly About Prayer According To The Conception We Have In Our Minds Of Prayer. If We Think Of Prayer As The Breath In Our Lungs And The Blood From Our Hearts, We Think Rightly. The Blood Flows Ceaselessly, And Breathing Continues Ceaselessly; We Are Not Conscious Of It, But It Is Always Going On. We Are Not Always Conscious Of Jesus Keeping Us In Perfect Joint With God, But If We Are Obeying Him, He Always Is.

It Is In The Middle That Human Choices Are Made; The Beginning And The End Remain With God. The Decrees Of God Are Birth And Death, And In Between Those Limits Man Makes His Own Distress Or Joy.
