Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: "No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God."
Use every opportunity of humbling yourself before your fellow-men as a help to abide humble before God.
The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us, and carry out, in our ordinary conduct; the insignficances of daily life are the importances and the tests of eternity, because they prove what really is the spirit that possesses us.
Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.
A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.
Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.
