Faith & Trust
The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.
Real faith can never be disappointed.
It is impossible for man to do it. And then alongside that is the thought--What is impossible with man is possible with God.
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.
The Holy Spirit is the first of the Father’s gifts, and the one He delights most to bestow.
The Father is in secret: in these words Jesus teaches us where He is waiting us, where He is always to be found.
Prayer is one of the most heavenly and spiritual of the functions of the Spirit-life.
If our life with Christ be right, all will come right.
It is in hearts entirely surrendered to the Lord Jesus, in hearts separating themselves from the world, and even from ordinary religious exercises, and giving themselves up in intense prayer to look to their Lord--it is in such hearts that the heavenly will of God will be made manifest.
The Spirit has come to keep the link with Him unbroken every moment.
God alone can effect the change. God alone, who gave us the Holy Spirit, can restore the Holy Spirit in power into our life.
Faith is the eye that looks, the hand that grasps, the mouth that drinks from the fountain of life.
At the bottom of all faith there is a feeling of helplessness.
In Christ the Holiness of God appeared in a human life: in Christ’s example we have the Holiness translated into human conduct.
Let death be to you the most desirable thing on earth: death to self, and fellowship with Christ.
If you had trusted Christ, He could not fail.
Give yourself, and live, to do the works of Christ and you will learn to pray so as to obtain wonderful answers to prayer.
Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and success.
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
God works to will, and then He works to do.
