We must never rest until everything inside us worships God.

Most Christians are satisfied living as common Christians, without an insatiable hunger for the deeper things of God.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ’s sake, Amen.
