God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory…
“God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion”
– Jonathan Edwards
Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God
“Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. […] Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.”
Paul David Washer
“God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life”
Smith Wigglesworth
“Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.”
– Charles Spurgeon
“You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God. You must refuse every- thing that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness… Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.”
– Smith Wigglesworth
