.. Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life to-day that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin.
Let me use disappointment as
material for patience:
Let me use success as material
for thankfulness:
Let me use suspense as
material for perseverance:
Let me use danger as
material for courage:
Let me use reproach as
material for long-suffering:
Let me use praise as
material for humility:
Let me use pleasures as
material for temperance:
Let me use pains as material
for endurance.
- John Baillie
.. Let us not curse our luck
when we get lost, but let us take God’s hand, for surely he will reveal the
best route for us as we travel in this world. - Christine A. Dallman
.. We do not want suffering;
we want success. We identify not with
those who are low and hurt but with those who are high and healthy. We don’t like lepers or losers very well; we
prefer climbers and comers. For
Christians, the temptation to be conformed to this world is desperately sweet
and strong. Yet, says the apostle Paul,
we are children of God if we suffer with Christ. - Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
..There can be no doubt that
possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the
Christian life. Because it is so
natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic. - A. W. Tozer
.. Joy is prayer. Joy is strength. Joy is a net of love by which you can catch
souls. - Mother Teresa
.. A man who gives into
temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like
an hour later. - C. S. Lewis
.. The ministry of kindness
is a ministry which may be achieved by all men, rich and poor, learned and
illiterate. Brilliance of mind and
capacity for deep thinking have rendered great service to humanity, but by
themselves they are impotent to dry a tear or mend a broken heart. - Unknown
