We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. ''In your patience possess your souls.'' |
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself. |
When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality. |
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, ''I can't.'' |
You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside. |
