Additional quotes by Elizabeth Prentiss

You cannot will to possess the spirit of Christ; that must come as His gift, but you can choose to study His life, and to imitate it.

Lay hold on Christ with both your poor, empty hands.

Ah, what a life is theirs who live in Christ;
How vast the mystery!
Reaching in height to heaven, and in its depth
The unfathomed sea!

The question is not whether you ever gave yourself to God, but whether you are His now. - Elizabeth Prentiss
