Just as transparent substances, when subjected to light, themselves glitter and give off light, so does the soul, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, give light to others and itself become spiritual.
Basil of Caesarea
When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me.

What air is to a man’s physical nature, the Holy Spirit is to man’s spiritual nature. Without air there is death in our bodies; without the Holy Spirit there is death in our souls.
Abraham Kuyper

Ask Him to increase your powers of sympathy: to give you more quickness and depth of sympathy, in little things as well as great. Opportunities of doing a kindness are often lost from mere want of thought. Half a dozen lines of kindness may bring sunshine into the whole day of some sick person. Think of the pleasure you might give to someone who is shut in, and has fewer pleasures than you have, by sharing with her some little comfort or enjoyment that you have learnt to look upon as a necessary of life,— the pleasant drive, the new book, flowers from the country, etc. Try to put yourself in another’s place. Ask, “What should I like myself, if I were hard-worked, or sick, or lonely?” Cultivate the habit of sympathy.
George H. Wilkinson
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
Galatians 4:6
The New Living Translation
God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

The New King James Version
God can do wonders with little noise.

We cannot say that this or that trouble shall not befall us. Yet we may, by help of the Spirit, say that nothing that doth befall shall make me do that which is unworthy of a Christian.

I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

If God is here for us and not elsewhere, then in fact this place is holy and this moment is sacred.
