If Jesus were born one thousand times in Bethlehem and not in me, then I would still be lost.

The life of a Christian is an education for higher service.

If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest.

When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

In God's faithfulness lies eternal security.

Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way ... God can give us the perfect way.

And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.

Love is larger than the walls which shut it in.

If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.

Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.

I would much rather be the trusting child of a rich Father, than a beggar at the door of worldly men.

The safest place to be is in the center of God's will.

It hurts when God has to PRY things out of our hand!

You say we could lose our lives for this child. I would consider that the greatest honor that could come to my family.

Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown.
