God Plants His Saints In The Most

Be Persistent With Your Disturbance Until You Get Face To Face With The Lord Himself. Don't Deify Common Sense.

Suppose God Wants To Teach You To Say, "i Know How To Be Abased"--are You Ready To Be Offered Up Like That? Are You Ready To Be Not So Much As A Drop In A Bucket--to Be So Hopelessly Insignificant That You Are Never Thought Of Again In Connection With The Life You Served? Are You Willing To Spend And Be Spent; Not Seeking To Be Ministered Unto, But To Minister?

Do Not Have As Your Motive The Desire To Be Known As A Praying Man. Get An Inner Chamber In Which To Pray Where No One Knows You Are Praying, Shut The Door, And Talk To God In Secret.

Think Of The Enormous Leisure Of God! He Is Never In A Hurry. We Are Always In Such A Frantic Hurry. In The Light Of The Glory Of The Vision We Go Forth To Do Things, But The Vision Is Not Real In Us Yet; And God Has To Take Us Into The Valley, And Put Us Through Fires And Floods To Batter Us Into Shape, Until We Get To The Place Where He Can Trust Us.... Let Him Put You On His Wheel And Whirl You As He Likes, And As Sure As God Is God And You Are You, You Will Turn Out Exactly In Accordance With The Vision. Don't Lose Heart In The Process.

It Is Not What A Man Does That Is Of Final Importance, But What He Is In What He Does. The Atmosphere Produced By A Man, Much More Than His Activities, Has The Lasting Influence.
