God knows us. He knows what we are, but He also knows what He meant us to be, and there is a vast difference!

“Obey God in all things today ! Drive out the enemy ! Lay the ax to the root of the tree, and the capacity for Jesus Christ will be increased tomorrow.”

Sinclair B. Ferguson, Healthy Christian Growth, The Banner of Truth Trust, 1991, p. 16.
Scripture speaks about God working everything together “for the good” of those who love him (Rom. 8:28). But what is this “good?” It consists of believers being conformed (changed and remade) to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). Thus, all the experiences of life are intended, under the sovereign hand of God, to help us to grow towards the great goal of the Christian life – Christ-likeness.

C.S. Lewis
Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.
C.S. Lewis
A.W. Tozer
Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man; rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator. His deep disgrace lay in his moral derangement, his unnatural usurpation of the place of God. His honor will be proved by restoring again that stolen throne. In exalting God over all, he finds his own highest honor upheld.
A.W. Tozer
Dieu ne veut pas seulement que nous fassions des choses extraordinaires, il veut que nous fassions des choses ordinaires extraordinairement bien.

God not only wants us to do extraordinary things, He wants us to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Francis Fuller
To repent is to accuse and condemn ourselves; to charge upon ourselves the desert of hell; to take part with God against ourselves, and to justify Him in all that He does against us; to be ashamed and confounded for our sins; to have them ever in our eyes and at all times upon our hearts that we may be in daily sorrow for them; to part with our right hands and eyes, that is, with those pleasurable sins which have been as dear to us as our lives, so as never to have more to do with them, and to hate them, so as to destroy them as things which by nature we are wholly disinclined to. For we naturally love and think well of ourselves, hide our deformities, lessen and excuse our faults, indulge ourselves in the things that please us, are mad upon our lusts, and follow them, though to our own destruction.
Francis Fuller
Richard Baxter
“The very design of the gospel is to abase us; and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature. It is a contradiction in terms, to be a Christian, and not humble.”
Richard Baxter
Bill Vaughan
There is not a single pessimistic note anywhere in the New Testament after the resurrection.

Charles H. Spurgeon
“If Christ has died for me – ungodly as I am, without strength as I am – then I can no longer live in sin, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me. I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend. I must be holy for his sake. How can I live in sin when He has died to save me from it?”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Philip Schaff
Jesus is the Author of the new creation; the Way, the Truth, and the Life; the Prophet, Priest, and King of regenerate humanity. He is Immanuel, God with us; the Eternal Word become flesh; very God and very man in one undivided person, the Saviour of the world.

“Humility: The beginning of perfection is to be little in self. The increase in perfection is to be less. The end of perfection is to be nothing at all.”

God is the same God in heaven as on earth, but I shall not be the same man.

“Humility is a paradox. The moment you think you've finally found it, you've lost it. There has yet to be written a book entitled, ‘Humility and How I Achieved It.’ And yet, God expects (and rewards) an attitude of servant-like humility in His followers.”

“We're too comfortable to be spiritual. ... We think we will be able to pursue God better without danger or hardship. And yet it works in just the opposite way. Nothing is more difficult than to grow spiritually when comfortable.”
Tim Bascom, The Comfort Trap: Spiritual Dangers in the Convenience Culture, Intervarsity, 1993.
John G. Lake
There is a stream of life that God permits to flow from your nature and mine to all men everywhere. That blessed stream will be either sweet and pure as the stream that flows from the throne of God, or it will be soiled and foul, according to the condition of our nature. The value of the precious blood of Jesus Christ to you and me is that through it, that lifestream that flows from us may be made holy. That same holy living lifestream that causes the tree of life to bloom.
John G. Lake
C.S. Lewis
Pain removes the veil; it plants the flag of truth within the fortress of a rebel soul.
C.S. Lewis
Charles H. Spurgeon
Some Christians overlook the blessing of sanctification, and yet to a thoroughly renewed heart this is one of the sweetest gifts of the covenant. If we could be saved from wrath, and yet remain unregenerate, impenitent sinners, we should not be saved as we desire, for we mainly and chiefly pant to be saved from sin and led in the way of holiness.
Charles H. Spurgeon

Frodo gave up his peaceful life at home in order to destroy the Ring, knowing the mission would likely claim his life. In the end, even though Frodo survived his journey he could not go back to his life in the Shire. He had given everything to protect the world, and now, he had no place in it. As Christians, sometimes we are called to surrender the things we love most in order to preserve what Christ has done. It may be our hard-won careers, our deepest dreams, perhaps even the desire for a family of our own. It is a cold and bitter truth, but like Frodo, Christ does not leave us alone and without hope.
