When We Believe That God

It May Be That One Of Our Great Faults In Prayer Is That We Talk Too Much And Listen Too Little. When Prayer Is At Its Highest We Wait In Silence For God's Voice To Us; We Linger In His Presence For His Peace And His Power To Flow Over Us And Around Us; We Lean Back In His Everlasting Arms And Feel The Serenity Of Perfect Security In Him.

So Often We Have A Kind Of Vague, Wistful Longing That The Promises Of Jesus Should Be True. The Only Way Really To Enter Into Them Is To Believe Them With The Clutching Intensity Of A Drowning Man.

Endurance Is Not Just The Ability To Bear A Hard Thing, But To Turn It Into Glory.

Love Always Involves Responsibility, And Love Always Involves Sacrifice. And We Do Not Really Love Christ Unless We Are Prepared To Face His Task And To Take Up His Cross.

The Danger Of Prosperity Is That It Encourages A False Independence.
