God who hast taught sea-gulls to soar and rest
On empty space,
So let me rise to Thee, dwell in the heavenlies, 
Proving Thy grace.

If this great word, Beloved, let us love, is hidden in our heart it will prevent unkindness of any sort from slipping in.

What a glorious life is ours!  Our Lord does not merely watch us work today, but He actually works with us.

An evangelist came for a week’s work.  ‘Please will you lend me a Bible?’ he asked.
‘Haven’t you brought your own?’
‘No, I thought I could borrow one?

The Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God never grows blunt.  But we can immensely sharpen our powers of using it.

‘It’s a very odd thing,
As odd as can be,
That whatever she eats
Turns into Miss T:’

You cannot see the fragrance of a flower, and you cannot see the presence of your Lord, but you can let its sweetness refresh you.

It is not a little matter to leave all – all of self, its desires, pride and ways.  But if we do we shall find all that our Lord has to give us.

And when we listen we hear Him say, ‘It is I, be not afraid.’
