“In one sense we are always traveling, and traveling as if we did not know where we were going. In another sense we have already arrived. We cannot arrive at the perfect possession of God in this life, and that is why we are traveling and in darkness. But we already possess Him by grace, and therefore in that sense we have arrived and are dwelling in the light. But oh! How far have I to go to find You in Whom I have already arrived!"

"Some part of your daily reading should, each day, be stored in the stomach of memory and left to be digested…You should select something that is in keeping with your calling and in line with your personal orientation, something that will seize hold of the mind and not allow it to think over alien matters."

"The Spirit of God is the depth dimension of all that we know as life. The spiritual life is not one slice of existence but leaven for the whole loaf. It is the broadest, most encompassing dimension of who we are, embracing in its mystery what we call physical, mental, emotional, and volitional aspects of life. Nothing that we do, think, or imagine is without its impact on our spiritual life, and the spiritual life influences every other dimension of our being. Spirituality is naturally holistic."

“The first fruit of love is the musing of the mind upon God. He who is in love, his thoughts are even upon the object. He who loves God is ravished and transported with the contemplation of God…The thoughts are as travelers in the mind…By this we may test our love to God. What are our thoughts most upon? Can we say we are ravished with delight when we think on God?”
