God's care for us is more watchful and more tender than the care of any human father could possibly be.
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
We must take our troubles to the Lord, but we must do more than that, we must leave them there.
Hannah Whitall Smith
When all else is gone, God is left, and nothing changes Him.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Before the acorn can bring forth the oak, it must become itself a wreck. No plant ever came from any but a wrecked seed.
Hannah Whitall Smith
