If Jesus gives us a command He could not enable us to fulfill, He would be a liar; and if we make our inability a barrier to obedience, it means we are telling God there is something He has not taken into account. Every element of self-reliance must be slain by the power of God. Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Joy is love exalted; peace is love in repose; long-suffering is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love in school; and temperance is love in training.
Dwight L. Moody
The great mistake made by most of the Lord's people is in hoping to discover in themselves that which is to be found in Christ alone.
Arthur W. Pink, The Doctrine of Sanctification
