john-14:6

"My thoughts are not as your thoughts, nor my ways as your ways," is a grand truth, and how heartily can faith add its "Amen" to the declaration; for how far better are His thoughts than ours! It is good to be in His hand; and surely every way of the Lord as to each of us is the best possible, being... Read More

Switzerland, November 18th, 1853. Your letter, dear brother in the Lord, was very acceptable to me. It followed me from London, and found me in one of the more remote parts of this land, among the poor brethren in the mountains. I think I have delayed to answer it, as also many others, from a pressu... Read More

1 Peter 1: 18-20. One of the means adopted by the adversary to prevent souls, quickened by God, from being established in peace, is, by reversing the order of God's truth. They do not receive God's truth in the order in which God presents it. You will find many a soul looking to the work of Christ a... Read More

Yet a little while, and He that shall come will have come; then Himself will have the joy of being surrounded by us, as fruits of the travail of His soul, and we shall then know how great a deliverance and how full a portion we owe to Him. Shall we meet again here below, my dear -, ere we have seen ... Read More

This is gleanings from G.V.W.'s ministry in Dublin in 1872. Ed. I suppose the account of Paul's conversion in Acts would be connected with this, as also his testimony on the stairs at Jerusalem, where he gives the account of God's personal dealing with himself and of his connection with the Gentiles...

God makes everything of the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing of the creature. In the work of the Lord Jesus on the cross, He was everything. I have got to be practically consistent with the place in which I am set; to walk down here as Jesus Christ walked; the future glory of the Lord before us and ou... Read More

Oh, how the Spirit is straitened by us as He goes through the wilderness with us and finds so little answer in our hearts, and cannot get the waters to flow! Do not speak of self, failure, or circumstances, though we have deeply to humble ourselves: Satan would always try to put these between us and... Read More

What would one do if instead of looking at Christ, one looked at all the billows and vanities down here, around or within? Here all conflict, up there all peace. Oh, the sweetness of that! and "Behold he cometh." To know that I am Christ's, and bound up in one bundle of life with Him, is one thing; ... Read More

"Have mercy upon me, 0 LORD, consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: "That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation." -Ps. 9:1 3,14. David was in a bad way: he was troubled ... Read More

Skiing is an exhilarating sport! I especially enjoy downhill skiing. It is wonderful to be out in the beautiful snow-covered countryside enjoying the scenes of majesty painted by the winter weather. I actually started skiing later in life, but I am glad that I did! It would have been sad not to have... Read More
