Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Get maximum effect from minimum effort.
Be like water, my friend.
Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities in man.
Your state of mind is everything.
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can’t supply is proof that Heaven must be our home.
I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. It doesn’t change God – it changes me.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.
God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken; and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
Discernment is not a matter of telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right.
Great faith must have great trials.
It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.
If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God you’ll be at rest.
In order to realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the stress of the storm.
Have a vision. Be demanding.
Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me.
I have learned to hold all things loosely, so God will not have to pry them out of my hands.
You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.
