Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. —Matthew 5:48
Seeking the aid of the Holy Spirit, let us aim at perfection. Let every day see some sin crucified, some battle fought, some good done, some victory won; let every fall be followed by a rise, and every step gained become, not a resting-place, but a new starting-point for further and higher progress. —Guthrie

Be perfect, be of good comfort. —2 Corinthians 13:11
A glance at the words is enough to make us feel how contradictory they are. Be perfect—that is a word that strikes us with despair; at once we feel how far away we are from our own poor ideal, and alas! how much further from God’s ideal concerning us. Be of good comfort—ah, that is very different! That seems to say, “Do not fret; do not fear. If you are not what you would be, you must be thankful for what …

Small things. —Zechariah 4:10
It is the little words you speak, the little thoughts you think, the little things you do or leave undone, the little moments you waste or use wisely, the little temptations which you yield to or overcome—the little things of every day that are making or marring your future life. —Selected

The Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. —Acts 13:2
We have such a nice little quiet, shady corner in the vineyard, down among the tender grapes, with such easy little weedings and waterings to attend to. And then the Master comes and draws us out into the thick of the work, and puts us in a part of the field where we never should have thought of going, and puts larger tools into our hands, that we may do more at a …

Thy heart is not right in the sight of God. —Acts 8:21
The worst of all mockeries is a religion that leaves the heart unchanged: a religion that has everything but the love of Christ enshrined in the soul. —F. Whitfield

As thy days, so shall thy strength be. —Deuteronomy 33:25
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. —Philippians 4:13
He will not impose upon you one needless burden. He will not exact more than He knows your strength will bear. He will ask no Peter to come to Him on the water, unless He impart at the same time strength and support on the unstable waves. He will not ask you to draw water if the well is too deep, or to withdraw the stone if too heavy. But neither …

What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. —John 13:7
God keeps a school for His children here on earth and one of His best teacher is Disappointment. My friend, when you and I reach our Father’s house, we shall look back and see that the sharp-voiced, rough; visaged teacher, Disappointment, was one of the best guides to train us for it. He gave us hard lessons; he often used the rod; he often led us into thorny paths; he sometimes stripped off a load of luxuries; but that …

These…have turned the world upside down. —Acts 17:6
The serene beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world next to the might of God. —Pascal

Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. —Luke 14:27
There is always the shadow of the cross resting upon the Christian’s path. Is that a reason why you should avoid or not undertake the duty? Have you made up your mind that you will follow your Master everywhere else, save when he ascends the path that leads to the cross? Is that your religion? The sooner you change it, the better. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is the religion of the cross, and …

Endure…as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. —2 Timothy 2:3
Life is not victory, but battle. Be patient a little longer. By and by, each in his turn, we shall hear the sunset gun. —Selected
