Everything That Happens To Me Can Help

Grace Binds You With Far Stronger Cords Than The Cords Of Duty Or Obligation Can Bind You. Grace Is Free, But When Once You Take It, You Are Bound Forever To The Giver And Bound To Catch The Spirit Of The Giver. Like Produces Like. Grace Makes You Gracious, The Giver Makes You Give.

Victorious Living Does Not Mean Freedom From Temptation, Nor Does It Mean Freedom From Mistakes.

Surrender The Thing You Fear Into The Hands Of God. Turn It Right Over To God And Ask Him To Solve It With You. Fear Is Keeping Things In Your Own Hands; Faith Is Turning Them Over Into The Hands Of God.

God, To Redeem Us At The Deepest Portion Of Our Nature - The Urge To Love And Be Loved - Must Reveal His Nature In An Incredible And Impossible Way. He Must Reveal It At A Cross.

In Our Ashrams Of East And West, Places Of Spiritual Retreat, We Begin With What We Call "the Morning Of The Open Heart," In Which We Tell Our Needs. . . . We Give Four Or Five Hours To This Catharsis. The Reaction Of One Member, Who Listened To It For The First Time, Was: "good Gracious, Have We All The Disrupted People In The Country Here?" My Reply Was: "no, You Have A Cross Section Of The Church Life Honestly Revealed." In The Ordinary Church, It Is Suppressed By Respectability, By A Desire To A Appear Better Than We Really Are.
