We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
Life is supplied with a basic adequacy.
Very often when I haven’t faith in my faith, I have to have faith in His faith. He makes me believe in myself and my possibilities, when I simply can’t. I have to rise to His faith in me.
Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.
The moral laws of the Universe are deeply embedded in the constitution of things. We do not break them – we break ourselves upon them.
Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake – a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention.
Grace makes you gracious. The Giver makes you give.
When the Christian doesn’t find joy on account of his happenings, he can always find joy in spite of them.
Everything that happens to me can help me along in my Christian life.
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.

I have surrendered to God; therefore I surrender to nothing else.
Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ.
When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.
Spiritual power comes out of inward fellowship with God and abandonment to his purposes.
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature – the urge to love and be loved – must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.
I have only to be true to the highest I know-success of failure is in the hand of God.
Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver. Like produces like. Grace makes you gracious, the Giver makes you give.
