There is such a thing as a shining contentment with the will of God. 

He has not given us up because we have so often disappointed Him.

In moments of temptation, when we doubt and fear about the reality of our experience, He will speak with us.  He will say,
‘Have courage.  It is I.’

 I know that no man hath a velvet cross, but that the cross is made of that which God will have it.

God needs each separate soul, each personality with the inheritance of His choice, for the perfecting of His purpose in the spiritual creation. 

A long look at Calvary shames the soul as nothing else does, and unites it too with fellow Christians, for it banishes the Littleness that can divide.

Rough roads make it certain that we shall often come to our Lord for rest.

‘If one will, what is impossible?’
