Nobody can take away from you those texts from the Bible which you have learned by heart.
You see, a potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.
There are no ‘ifs’ in God’s Kingdom. His timing is perfect. His will is our hiding place. Lord Jesus, keep me in Your will! Don’t let me go mad by poking about outside it.

There are no ‘if’s’ in God’s world. And no places that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety – let us pray that we may always know it!
The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.
Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.
Jesus loves sinners. He only loves sinners. He has never turned anyone away who came to Him for forgiveness, and He died on the cross for sinners, not for respectable people.
Children need the wisdom of their elders; the aging need the encouragement of a child’s exuberance.
In the center of a hurricane there is absolute peace and quiet. There is no safer place than in the center of the will of God.
Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it.
