O happy life! life hid with Christ in God! So making me, At home, and by the wayside, and abroad, Alone with Thee! - 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.

No truth can be said to be seen as it is until it is seen in its relation to all other truths. In this relation only is it true.

Not till I was shut up to prayer and to the study of God's word by the loss of earthly joys — sickness destroying the flavor of them all — did I begin to penetrate the mystery that is learned under the cross. And wondrous as it is, how simple is this mystery! To love Christ, and to know that I love Him — this is all.
