The Holy Spirit… comes only when He is desired, when He is wanted, when He is sought. He comes to us only when we sincerely seek Him, because we want Him more than we want anything else in the world. -A. F. Harper

All Christ’s life was a cross and a martyrdom; and thou seekest to thyself rest and joy? -Thomas à Kempis
The colored sunsets and starry heavens, the beautiful mountains and the shining seas, the fragrant woods and painted flowers, are not half so beautiful as a soul that is serving Jesus out of love, in the wear and tear of common, unpoetic life. – Faber

Remember it is the very time for faith to work when sight ceases. The greater the difficulties, the easier for faith; as long as there remain certain natural prospects, faith does not get on even as easily as where natural prospects fail. – George Mueller

“In him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28) means simply this: “God is our home.” -Amy Carmichael This truly blessed my heart this morning.

God is whispering to us incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear the whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on. -Faber
The morning never disappoints us by not coming; neither does our loving God. -Amy Carmichael
There is no shortcut to the life of faith, which is the all vital condition of a holy and victorious life. -F. B. Meyer

Christ is building His kingdom with earth’s broken things… God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth’s broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. -J.R. Miller

A partial surrender to Christ means a partial experiencing of his grace, and surely that is no gain. – Dennis Kinlaw
