There Is No Joy In

Watch Human Nature; We Are So Built That If We Do Not Get Thrilled In The Right Way, We Will Get Thrilled In The Wrong. If We Are Without The Thrill Of Communion With God, We Will Try To Get Thrilled By The Devil, Or By Some Concoction Of Human Ingenuity.

Sanctification Costs To The Extent Of "an Intense Narrowing Of All Our Interests On Earth And An Immense Broadening Of All Our Interests In God.

It Is Better To Enter Into Life Maimed But Lovely In God’s Sight Than To Appear Lovely To Man’s Eyes But Lame To God’s.

We Are Not Made For The Mountains, For Sunrises, Or For The Other Beautiful Attractions In Life - Those Are Simply Intended To Be Moments Of Inspiration. We Are Made For The Valley And The Ordinary Things Of Life And That Is Where We Have To Prove Our Stamina And Strength.

Perseverance Is More Than Endurance. It Is Endurance Combined With Absolute Assurance And Certainty That What We Are Looking For Is Going To Happen.
