The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.Â
We bear within us the seeds of our own disintegration. The strength of our flesh is an ever present danger to our souls.
The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of his submission to God.Â
Stop trying to compete with others. Give yourself to God and then be what and who you are without regard to what others think.
It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
