We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.

You help God from within by turning in outgoing love to others, and miraculously your fears and doubts and self-centeredness will vanish. The miracle starts within, not from without.

Jesus will meet me today in the person of someone in need-I must not miss him.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
No person is free until he or she is free at the center. When we let go there, we are free indeed. When the self is renounced, then one stands utterly disillusioned, apart, asking for nothing. If anything comes to us, it is all sheer gain. Then life becomes one constant surprise.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.

Image
If you don't make up your mind, your unmade mind will unmake you.
