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

Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ

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.

If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.

Don't wait for some miracle to be performed on you from without, lifting you above your fears and doubts and self-centeredness. 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.

Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.

In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.

Where sin has abounded in me, Grace now much more abounds in me. I live by that 'much more.'

If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.

Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.

Image
Surrender the thing you fear into the hands of God. Turn it right over to God and ask Him to solve it with you. Fear is keeping things in your own hands faith is turning them over into the hands of God.

Image
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.

Image
Very often when I haven't faith in my faith, I have to have faith in His faith. He makes me believe in myself and my possibilities, when I simply can't. I have to rise to His faith in me.

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.

Image
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.

Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.
