We Are Not Responsible For The Circumstances

We Are Apt To Think That Everything That Happens To Us Is To Be Turned Into Useful Teaching; It Is To Be Turned Into Something Better Than Teaching, Into Character. We Shall Find That The Spheres God Brings Us Into Are Not Meant To Teach Us Something But To Make Us Something.

If Sympathy Is All That Human Beings Need, Then The Cross Of Christ Is An Absurdity And There Is Absolutely No Need For It. What The World Needs Is Not "a Little Bit Of Love," But Major Surgery. If You Think You Are Helping Lost People With Your Sympathy And Understanding, You Are A Traitor To Jesus Christ. You Must Have A Right-standing Relationship With Him Yourself, And Pour Your Life Out In Helping Others In His Way— Not In A Human Way That Ignores God.

Jesus Christ Has Undertaken By His Redemption To Put In Me A Heart So Pure That God Can See Nothing To Censure.

Narrow All Your Interests Until The Attitude Of Mind And Heart And Body Is Concentration On Jesus Christ.

Your Priorities Must Be God First, God Second, And God Third, Until Your Life Is Continually Face To Face With God.
