He, therefore, is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and the spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God; who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all parts of his common life parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory.
– William Law
The Holy Ghost rides in the chariot of Scripture, and not in the wagon of modern thought.
Holy wonder will lead you to grateful worship.
Submit yourselves. Yield to the grasp of those hands which were nailed to the cross for you.
Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing.
To hear of the love of God is sweet – to believe it most precious – but to enjoy it is paradise below the skies.
The heart must be alive with gracious gratitude, or the leaf cannot long be green with living holiness.
With His great infinite heart He loves me. It is a conquering thought; it utterly overcomes us and crushes us with its weight of joy; it bows us to the ground and casts us into a swoon of ecstasy.
This is the holy reasoning of love; it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world: It is not he who prays most or fasts most, it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it.
