There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
William Barclay
Image
It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.
William Barclay

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
William Barclay
Image
For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.
William Barclay
Image
Prayer is not flight, prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.
William Barclay
Image
Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
William Barclay
Image
So often we have a kind of vague, wistful longing that the promises of Jesus should be true. The only way really to enter into them is to believe them with the clutching intensity of a drowning man.
William Barclay
Image
The greatest thing is a life of obedience in the routine things of everyday life. No amount of fine feeling can take the place of faithful doing.
William Barclay
Image
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.
William Barclay
Image
Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.

God himself took this human flesh upon him.
