 Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness. Author: Matthew Henry |
| What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last. Author: Matthew Henry |
| The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness. Author: Matthew Henry |

| A saint's life is in the hands of God as a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer.

But God does not heed; He goes on stretching until His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Author: Oswald Chambers |

| Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behaviour will be transformed. Author: Charles Stanley |

| I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time. Author: Charles Stanley |
| This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it. Author: Richard Baxter |
