When It Is A Question Of God's

We Are Not Built For The Mountains And The Dawns And Aesthetic Affinities, Those Are For Moments Of Inspiration, That Is All. We Are Built For The Valley, For The Ordinary Stuff We Are In, And That Is Where We Have To Prove Our Mettle. Spiritual Selfishness Always Wants Repeated Moments On The Mount. We Feel We Could Talk Like Angels And Live Like Angels, If Only We Could Stay On The Mount. The Times Of Exaltation Are Exceptional, They Have Their Meaning In Our Life With God, But We Must Beware Lest Our Spiritual Selfishness Wants To Make Them The Only Time.

The Whole Idea Of The Prayers Of The Saints Is That God's Holiness, God's Purpose, God's Ways May Be Brought About Irrespective Of Who Comes Or Goes.

Tolerating A Wrong Attitude Toward Another Person Causes You To Follow The Spirit Of The Devil, No Matter How Saintly You Are.

If We Rely On The Holy Spirit, We Shall Find That Our Prayers Become More And More Inarticulate; And When They Are Inarticulate, Reverence Grows Deeper And Deeper.

The Characteristic Of The New Birth Is That I Yield Myself So Completely To God That Christ Is Formed In Me.
