An important day in a young person's life is the day on which he becomes convinced that Christ is the only Friend who will not disappoint him, on which he can always count.

I had my nearest and most intimate glimpses of the presence of my Lord in those dread moments when musket, club or spear was being levelled at my life.

The Christian life is to live all of your life in the presence of God.

Walk firmly and with joy, without being afraid of stumbling. All your movements are being watched by your allies that will help you when necessary.

Do not be satisfied with God's calling or His gifts in your life. Be satisfied with Jesus Christ Himself.

Hold loosely to the things of this life, so that if God requires them of you, it will be easy to let them go.

At times it seems we require more grace to lose our wealth than to lose our life!

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, freely submitting to, and taking delight in God's wise, and fatherly disposal in every condition.

I find a sufficiency of satisfaction in my own heart, through the grace of Christ that is in me. Though I have not outward comforts and worldly conveniences to supply my necessities, yet I have a sufficient portion between Christ and my soul abundantly to satisfy me in every condition.

It is contrary to the worship that is in contentedness.

Here lies the bottom and root of all contentment, when there is an evenness and proportion between our hearts and our circumstances.

Contentment is an inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit-the whole soul, judgment, thoughts, will, affections and all are satisfied and quiet.
