Quote

Sufficient to each day are the duties to be done and the trials to be endured. God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on the top of them.

More quotes by Theodore L. Cuyler

Image
God sometimes washes the eyes of His children with tears in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
When you and I are inclined to nestle down in indolence and self indulgence. God stirs up our nests and bids us fly upward.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
A large portion of Christ's miracles of love were wrought at the urgent request of parents for their suffering children. Is that ear gone deaf to-day? Will He not do for our children's souls what He did for the bodies of the ruler's daughter, and the dead youth at Nain?

Image
In heaven, knowledge shall be commensurate with the enlarged powers of the glorified soul.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
I never yet have heard of a good man having fallen when he was trying to do Christ's will and trusting on Christ's help. Every fall without one exception came from venturing upon sinful ground or from venturing upon self-support.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Blessed be the discipline which makes me reach out my soul's roots into closer union with Jesus! Blessed be the dews of the Spirit which keep my leaf ever green! Blessed be the trials which shake down the ripe, golden fruits from the branches.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Conversion by the Holy Spirit is a spiritual illumination of the soul. God's grace lights up the dark heart. And when a man has once been kindled at the cross of Christ, he is bound to shine.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
The demand of the day is for a higher standard and style of Christian life. Every follower of Christ must represent His religion purely, loftily, impressively, before that multitude of Bible-readers whose only Bible is the Christian.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
For a few brief days the orchards are white with blossoms. They soon turn to fruit, or else float away, useless and wasted, upon the idle breeze. So will it be with present feelings. They must be deepened into decision, or be entirely dissipated by delay.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
A genuine revival means a trimming of personal lamps.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
God does not give us ready money. He issues promissory notes, and then pays them at the throne. Each one of us has a check-book.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
The most heaven-like spots I have ever visited, have been certain rooms in which Christ's disciples were awaiting the summons of death. So far from being a house of mourning, I have often found such a house to be a vestibule of glory.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
The Christian who will sit with sealed lips when his Master is assailed, when religion is attacked, when wickedness is broached and defended, when truth is denounced, is a denier of his Lord, as guilty as Simon Peter in Pilate's hall.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Repentance, to be of any avail, must work a change of heart and conduct.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Precious Saviour! come in spirit, and lay Thy strong, gentle grasp of love on our dear boys and girls, and keep these our lambs from the fangs of the wolf.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Tears never yet saved a soul. Hell is full of weepers weeping over lost opportunities, perhaps over the rejection of an offered Saviour. Your Bible does not say, Weep, and be saved. It says, Believe, and be saved. Faith is better than feeling.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Know what your sin is and confess it but do not imagine that you have approved yourself a penitent by confessing sin in the abstract.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
The firmament of the Bible is ablaze with answers to prayer.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Faith is trusting Jesus to lead us and going where He leads. What avails it to me to analyze Saratoga water, and to believe in its virtues? I must drink the water if I want its purifying power. And the soul that has not actually drunk of Christ can never be purged from sin.
