The week with its failures and successes has taught me one new lesson. It is this: ‘I must talk about God, or I cannot keep Him in my mind. I must give Him away in order to have Him.’ That is the law of the spirit world. What one gives one has, what one keeps to oneself one loses.

This philosophy that one can begin all over instantly at any moment is proving of great help.

I have done nothing but open windows-God has done all the rest.

Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation-and for me the most important part is listening to God's replies.

It is that spirit of greed which Jesus said God hated more than any other. It is so diametrically opposite to the Spirit of God. For God forever lavishes His gifts upon the good and bad alike, and finds all His joy in endless giving.
