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?’

Isn’t it a good thing to begin to practise for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?

‘It was the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?’

He loved us even when we were dead….

there are bound to be dry, desert days.  

Our Father’s thoughts to us-ward are many.  We only know a few of them, but they are flowing us-ward all the time.
