Holy
Thoughts For Quiet Hours
1.
Anything less than perfect dependence upon God is a denial
of Him.
2. Life has a language. To live holy is to have all our
words and deeds to say, "Hallowed be Thy name."
3. The rays of light that proceed from the sun are as pure
as the sun. The life that flows from God must be as free
from imperfections as He.
4. If the human soul would grow in moral stature and moral
beauty and fruitfulness, it must keep open to the light of
God and absorb that light as it falls upon it.
5. If you are not showing to the world around you that
there is something better than wealth, honor, position,
earthly pleasure, and the good opinions and praise of men,
you are not showing forth the life of Christ.
6. He does not love us truly who does not love us well
enough to tell us our faults. To love one another is to
have an intense desire to see one another free from
faults.
7. The man who fails to give us reproof when needed, but
gives us approval instead or holds back deserving rebuke
for fear of offending, is more cruel than he who withholds
bread from us when we are hungry.
8. He who will listen to any words of levity, jesting,
foolishness, tale-bearing, tattling, and show no
disapproval makes himself a partaker of the sin.
9. It has been arranged in the plan of redemption that God
and man can be so absorbed each in the other that they
would think alike, will alike, feel and love and work
together. This is man at his real self.
10. Man is to be loved because of what he is worth to God.
We get some estimate of man's worth to Christ by the
terrible woe He pronounces upon those who would injure one
of those who believe in Him.
11. The nearer you live like Christ the nearer you live
like you ought to live. The more you love Him, and love
with Him, and love all things for Him the more you will be
like Him.
12. The trouble is not that you do not know what is right;
the trouble is that you do not lay hold upon God to help
you to live like you know you should.
