Faith & Trust
The Father is in secret: in these words Jesus teaches us where He is waiting us, where He is always to be found.
God works to will, and then He works to do.
The condition of God’s blessing is absolute surrender of all into His hands.
Your religious life is every day to be a proof that God works impossibilities; your religious life is to be a series of impossibilities made possible and actual by God’s almighty power. That is what the Christian needs.
God is what He is through His Spirit; the Spirit is the very life of God.
God is life, and love, and blessing, and power, and infinite beauty, and God delights to communicate Himself to every child who is prepared to receive Him; but ah! this one lack of absolute surrender is just the thing that hinders God.
Pride renders faith impossible.
God cannot do it.
What is done in the will of God, the strength of God will not be withheld from it; what is done in the will of God must have the mighty blessing of God.
If our life with Christ be right, all will come right.
The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
The whole of Christianity is a work of God’s omnipotence.
When faith in its struggling gets to the end of itself, and just throws itself upon God and rests on Him, then comes joy and victory.
Give yourself, and live, to do the works of Christ and you will learn to pray so as to obtain wonderful answers to prayer.
In Christ the Holiness of God appeared in a human life: in Christ’s example we have the Holiness translated into human conduct.
The only right and safe place for the creature is to be and remain absolutely, unceasingly, universally dependent upon God.
The Holy Spirit is the first of the Father’s gifts, and the one He delights most to bestow.
God alone can effect the change. God alone, who gave us the Holy Spirit, can restore the Holy Spirit in power into our life.
It is not the effort of faith, seeking to cling to Thee, nor even the rest of faith, trusting Thee to keep me; it is not the obedience of the will, nor the keeping the commandments; but it is Thyself living in me and in the Father, that alone can satisfy me.
