I Have Never Met The Man I

The Scrutiny We Give Other People Should Be For Ourselves.

One Of The Greatest Hindrances In Coming To Jesus Is The Excuse Of Temperament. We Make Our Temperament And Our Natural Affinities Barriers To Coming To Jesus. The First Thing We Realize When We Come To Jesus Is That He Pays No Attention Whatever To Our Natural Affinities. We Have The Notion That We Can Consecrate Our Gifts To God. You Cannot Consecrate What Is Not Yours; There Is Only One Thing You Can Consecrate To God, And That Is Your Right To Yourself (romans 12:1). If You Will Give God Your Right To Yourself, He Will Make A Holy Experiment Out Of You. God’s Experiments Always Succeed

Never Consider Whether You Are Of Use; But Ever Consider That You Are Not Your Own But His.

As Soon As We Abandon Ourselves To God And Do The Task He Has Placed Closest To Us, He Begins To Fill Our Lives With Surprises.

Beware Of Being Obsessed With Consistency To Your Own Convictions Instead Of Being Devoted To God. The Important Consistency In A Saint Is Not To A Principle But To The Divine Life. It Is Easier To Be An Excessive Fanatic Than It Is To Be Consistently Faithful, Because God Causes An Amazing Humbling Of Our Religious Conceit When We Are Faithful To Him.
