God keeps giving Himself as long as we bring that into which He can pour Himself. And when we stop bringing, He stops giving.

More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
God is His own motive. His love is not drawn out by our loveableness, but wells up, like an artesian spring, from the depths of His nature.
Alexander MacLaren
If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it.
Alexander MacLaren
If God sends us on stony paths, He will provide us with strong shoes.
Alexander MacLaren
Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins.
Alexander MacLaren
Brethren, understand that the gospel is a gospel which brings a present salvation and try to feel that it is not presumption, but simply out of the very fundamental principle of it, when you are not afraid to say, I know that my Redeemer is yonder, and I know that He loves me.
Alexander MacLaren
Conflict, not progress, is the word that defines man's path from darkness into light. No holiness is won by any other means than this, that wickedness should be slain day by day, and hour by hour.
Alexander MacLaren
Heaven is endless longing, accompanied with an endless fruition-a longing which is blessedness, a longing which is life.
Alexander MacLaren
In such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run. Whoever lets himself be shaped and guided by any thing lower than an inflexible will, fixed in obedience to God, will in the end be shaped into a deformity, and guided to wreck and ruin
Alexander MacLaren
The vision of the Divine presence ever takes the form which our circumstances most require.
Alexander MacLaren
Christ has given us, not only the ritual of an ordinance, but the pattern for our lives, when He took the cup, and gave thanks. So common joys become sacraments, enjoyment becomes worship, and the cup which holds the bitter or the sweet skillfully mingled for our lives becomes the cup of blessing and salvation drank in remembrance of Him.
Alexander MacLaren
Surely Scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated.
Alexander MacLaren
No man loveth God except the man who has first learned that God loves him.
Alexander MacLaren
That is faith, cleaving to Christ, twining round Him with all the tendrils of our heart, as the vine does round its support.
Alexander MacLaren
Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.
Alexander MacLaren
The cross is the centre of the world's history the incarnation of Christ and the crucifiction of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing power of Jesus is the spirit of history
Alexander MacLaren
If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy--think you, will death without faith do it? The cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! no! as you go down into them, you will come up from them.
Alexander MacLaren
Why should we live halfway up the hill and swathed in the mists, when we might have an unclouded sky and a radiant sun over our heads if we would climb higher and walk in the light of His face?
Alexander MacLaren
Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.
Alexander MacLaren
Unless we are wedded to Jesus Christ by the simple act of trust in His mercy and His power, Christ is nothing to us.
Alexander MacLaren
If you would know Christ at all, you must go to Him as a sinful man, or you are shut out from Him altogether.
Alexander MacLaren
