"We all know the need of time for our meals each day -- every workman claims his hour for dinner; the hurried eating of so much food is not enough. If we are to live through Jesus, we must feed on Him (John 6:57); we must thoroughly take in and assimilate that heavenly food the Father has given us in His life."
"May He give us a large and strong heart to believe what mighty influence our prayers can exert. And may all fear as to our being able to fulfil our vocation vanish as we see Jesus, living ever to pray, living in us to pray, and standing surety for our prayer-life."
Andrew Murray October 28 1885
"It needs time
to grow into Jesus the vine: do not expect to abide in Him unless you will give Him that time."
