The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference.

When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.
