The Holy Spirit not only originates faith, but increases it by degrees, till He conducts us by it all the way to the heavenly kingdom.
Oscar Cullmann

As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,”

How does our will become sanctified? By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God. We will all that He wills, and will nothing that He does not will; we attach our feeble will to that all-powerful will which performs everything. Thus, nothing can ever come to pass against this will; for nothing can happen save that which God wills, and we find in His good pleasure an inexhaustible source of peace and consolation.
François Fénelon
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
Ecclesiastes 9:10
The King James Version
In the name of Jesus Christ who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all eternity before us, make us take time to live—time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessing, and time to know each other.

I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.
George Whitefield
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:25-28
The New International Version
When men seek to comprehend the power of God, it is like a fly attempting to devour all the mountains.

There is a City of God, and its Founder has inspired us with a love which makes us covet its citizenship.
Augustine
The Lord preserves the faithful
Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version
If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

Happy is the sadness of the faithful, which has such joy with it, and unhappy is the joy of unbelievers, which has such sadness with it.

Be patient with every one, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall. I am glad that you make a daily new beginning. There is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh, and never to think that we have done enough.
Francis de Sales
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
The New Living Translation
The morning is the gate of the day, and should be well guarded with prayer. It is one end of the thread on which the day’s actions are strung, and should be well knotted with devotion. If we felt more the majesty of life we should be more careful of its mornings. He who rushes from his bed to his business and without worship is as foolish as though he had not put on his clothes, or washed his face, and as unwise as though he dashed into battle without arms or armor.
C. H. Spurgeon

No persuasive technique will ever take the place of your personal testimony. If you have not discovered the value of telling others how God rearranged your life, you’ve missed a vital link in the chain of His plan for reaching the lost.
Charles Swindoll
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

The mind is like a clock that is constantly running down. It has to be wound up daily with good thoughts.
