“You cannot prove to yourself that you love God by examining your feelings toward Him. They are indefinite and they fluctuate. But just as far as you obey Him, just so far, depend upon it; you love Him. It is not natural to us sinful, ungrateful beings to prefer His pleasure to our own or to follow His way instead of our own way, and nothing, nothing but love of Him can or does make us obedient to Him.”
― Elizabeth Payson Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward

“God made man out of nothing, and as long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.”

“Any honours that come our way are only stolen from him to whom alone they really belong, the Lord who sent us.”
