Holiness consists simply in doing God’s will, and being just what God wants us to be.
Thérèse of Lisieux
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Jeremiah 21:8
The King James Version
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

To know Him is to know and have everything.
Martin Luther
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Luke 22:42
The New Living Translation
They are idols of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses;
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oh those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild,
And I know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.

The principle part of faith is patience.
George MacDonald
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.
Hebrews 10:9
The King James Version
I am filled with shame and confusion, when I reflect on the one hand upon the great favors which God has done, and incessantly continues to do; and on the other, upon the ill use I have made of them, and my small advancement in the way of perfection.

God only is holy. He alone knows how to lead His children in the paths of holiness. He knows every aspect of your soul, every thought of your heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and hindrances. He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to perfect sanctification. He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each temptation, will tell upon you, and he disposes all things accordingly. The consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your whole life. You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more unreservedly, asking nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but what He wills. Instead of seeking to bring things about for yourself, you will take all He sends joyfully, and believe the “one step” set before you to be enough for you. You will be satisfied that even though there are clouds around, and your way seems dark, He is directing all, and that what seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills it.
Jean Nicolas Grou
Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD,
Exodus 32:29

I am greater than the stars for I know that they are up there and they do not know that I am down here.

God is as great in minuteness as He is in magnitude.

A man should be encouraged to do what the Maker of him has intended by the making of him, according as the gifts have been bestowed on him for that purpose. His happiness, and that of others around him depends upon such a relation to the Maker’s will.
Thomas Carlyle
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Psalm 57:1
The King James Version
Come and share a pot of tea,
My home is warm and my friendship’s free.

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.

My faith hath no bed to sleep upon but omnipotency.
Samuel Rutherford
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Psalm 19:12
The New Living Translation
Joy is not gush; joy is not jolliness. Joy is just perfect acquiescence in God’s will because the soul delights itself in God Himself.
