One Life Totally Devoted To

Beware Of Harking Back To What You Once Were When God Wants You To Be Something You Have Never Been.

As Soon As We Abandon Ourselves To God And Do The Task He Has Placed Closest To Us, He Begins To Fill Our Lives With Surprises.

Our Natural Virtues Can Never Come Anywhere Near What Jesus Christ Wants.

Faith By Its Very Nature Must Be Tried, And The Real Trial Of Faith Is Not That We Find It Difficult To Trust God, But That God's Character Has To Be Cleared In Our Own Minds. Faith In Its Actual Working Out Has To Go Through Spells Of Unsyllabled Isolation. Never Confound The Trial Of Faith With The Ordinary Discipline Of Life. Much That We Call The Trial Of Faith Is The Inevitable Result Of Being Alive.

What Hinders Me From Hearing Is That I Am Taken Up With Other Things. It Is Not That I Will Not Hear God, But I Am Not Devoted In The Right Place. I Am Devoted To Things, To Service, To Convictions, And God May Say What He Likes But I Do Not Hear Him.
