Status Updates From Grace and Glory

"And yet it is absolutely essential for us that we should not only have our seasons of communion with God, but that all the time we should carry with us into our outward and public work in some degree a living sense of our nearness to God and of his nearness to us, because in this way alone can we make our service in the Lord's Kingdom truly fruitful and spiritual."

"When Christ rose on Easter morning he left behind him in the depths of the grave every one of our sins; there they remain buried from the sight of God so completely that even on the day of judgement they will not be able to rise up against us any more."

"The center of gravity of the Christian's consciousness lies not in the present but in the future. Hope, not possession, is that which gives tone and colour to their life. Theirs is the frame of mind of the heir who knows themselves entitled to large treasures upon which they will enter at a definite point of time; treasures which will enable them to become a human and develop their powers to their full capacity..."

So many wonderful lines.

Faith "is the hand stretched out through vast distances of space and time, whereby the Christian draws to himself the things far beyond, so that they become actual to them."
