Strength & Perseverance
One of the most fatal things in the life of faith is discouragement. One of the most helpful is cheerfulness.
The essential thing is to get within you the growing life, and then you cannot help but grow. And this life is the life hid with Christ in God, the wonderful divine life of an indwelling Holy Ghost.
Circumstances make men kings in the outward life, but in this hidden life men become kings over circumstances.
We may make out of each event in our lives either a Juggernaut car to crush us, or a chariot in which to ride to heights of victory.
All discouragement is from the devil, and I wish every Christian would just take this as a pocket-piece, and never forget it.
To be inwardly a king, while outwardly a slave, is one of the grandest heights of triumph of which our hearts can conceive.
