“the secret was not “asking how I am to get the sap out of the vine into myself, but remembering that Jesus is the vine. . . . Not seeking for faith to bring holiness but rejoicing in the fact of perfect holiness, in Christ. . . . Inseparably one with Him, this holiness is ours. His resources are mine, for He is mine. All this springs from the believer’s oneness with Christ.”

“It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow’s burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.

“John Blanchard said it well: So God supplies perfectly measured grace to meet the needs of the godly. For Daily need — daily grace, Sudden need — sudden grace, Overwhelming need — overwhelming grace. God’s grace is given wonderfully but not wastefully, freely but not foolishly, bountifully but not blindly.”

“A great man of God, Andrew Murray, said, “There is nothing that God has that He does not want to give. It is His nature; and therefore, when God asks anything of us, He must give it first Himself, and He will. Never be afraid whatever God asks; for God only asks what is His own; what He asks you to give He will first Himself give you. The possessor, and owner, and giver of all! This is our God.”
