“Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know such an extraordinary God.”

“I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.”

“When it comes time to die, make sure that all you have to do is die.”

“God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.”

“Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.”

“God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine.”
