Cheer for Pilgrims

“Strangers and pilgrims.”
— 1 Peter 2:11

“If Christ be between our hearts and the suffering, instead of the suffering getting between our hearts and Christ, we shall find the place of suffering to be the best place on the face of the earth for us, as all suffering will then bring us nearer Christ.”

“Be assured that God does more in us than we do for Him; and that what we do is only for Him in proportion as it is He Himself who works it in us.”
