Dear Christian: when people call you narrow minded, think twice before you fight it. You’re called to the narrow path, not the wide path or the blending in path. Your job is not to get everyone to like you or agree with you. It’s to love all people, not agree with all people. It’s to point people to Jesus, not let people point you away from Him. It’s to be salt, not sugar.

I know some of you are greatly distressed because you cannot love Christ as much as you would like to do and you keep on fretting because it is so. Now just forget your own love to Him and think of His great love to you and then immediately your love will come to something more like that with which you desire it to be.

The current of Your love is stronger than my fear.

Until God is your chief concern — until sinning against him is what makes your heart break — you will never turn the corner

If we do not fill our mind with prayer, it will fill itself with anxieties, worries, temptations, resentments, and unwelcome memories.

Look for Christ and you will find Him. And with Him, everything else.

If you cling to your life, you will lose it, but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
