The Vision That God Gives Is Not

With Christ, It Is Not How Much We Give, But What We Do Not Give That Is The Real Test.

We Think Of Prayer As A Preparation For Work, Or A Calm After Having Done Work, Whereas Prayer Is The Essential Work.

Beware Of Making A Fetish Of Consistency To Your Convictions Instead Of Being Devoted To God.

Am I As Spontaneously Kind To God As I Used To Be, Or Am I Only Expecting God To Be Kind To Me? Am I Full Of The Little Things That Cheer His Heart Over Me, Or Am I Whimpering Because Things Are Going Hardly With Me? There Is No Joy In The Soul That Has Forgotten What God Prizes.

The Historic Idea That The Devil Tempts Men Had This Remarkable Effect, It Produced The Man Of Iron Who Fought; The Modern Idea Of Blaming His Heredity Or His Circumstances Produces The Man Who Gives In At Once.
