“You will find that nothing is too small for His regard. He will say things to you that you could not repeat-they would sound too small, too intimate-but they will be the joy and rejoicing of your heart.”

“It doesn't matter much what happens to us. The one thing that matters is how we meet what happens. Limitations, frustrations-they can't cast the smallest handful of dust on the glory of God. So let us be of good courage. He is leading us through and on, and as for God, His way is perfect.”

“In the meantime, I am pained with His love, because I want real possession. When Christ cometh, He stayeth not long. But certainly the blowing of His breath upon a poor soul is heaven upon earth; and when the wind turneth into the north, and He goeth away, I die, till the wind change into the west, and he visit his prisoner. But He holdeth me not often at His door. I am richly repaid for suffering for Him.”

“You will live to share your joy in Him. Nothing else will count for much.”
