“At the beginning I said there were Personalities in God. I will go further now. There are no real personalities anywhere else. Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self. Sameness is to be found most among the most ‘natural’ men, not among those who surrender to Christ. How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints.”

“The real Son of God is at your side. He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as Himself.

The part of you that does not like it is the part that is still tin.”
