You must hand yourself and all your inward experiences, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If the Lord sets you to guard a lonely post in perfect stillness from all active work, you ought to be just as content as to be in the midst of the active warfare. It is no virtue to love the Master's work better than the Master's will.
Hannah Whitall Smith
It is hard for me to believe that any husband and wife are really happy together. And to have thee say you are is an unspeakable comfort.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Somehow even tragedies seem less tragical, when you are the actors in them, than they look to outsiders
Hannah Whitall Smith
Nothing else is needed to quiet all your fears, but just this, that GOD IS.
Hannah Whitall Smith
God's slavation is not a purchase to be made, nor wages to be earned, nor a summit to be climbed, nor a task to be accomplished but it is simply and only a gift to be accepted, and can only be accepted by faith.
Hannah Whitall Smith
An idea is a curious thing. It will not work unless you do.
Hannah Whitall Smith
For the mother is and must be, whether she knows it or not, the greatest, strongest and most lasting teacher her children have.
Hannah Whitall Smith
I find that every soul that has travelled on this highway of holiness for any length of time, has invariably cut loose from its old moorings.
Hannah Whitall Smith
When all else is gone, God is left, and nothing changes Him.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity, and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God.
Hannah Whitall Smith
No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all dependence on everything else and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone. As long as our expectation is from other things, nothing but disappointment awaits us.
