"Never sympathize with the thing that is stabbing God all the time. God has to hurt the thing that must go." It's only because He loves us so passionately that He is jealous for our affections. Oh, to truly comprehend the depths of His love for us!

"Suppose God has brought you up to a crisis and you nearly go through but not quite. He will engineer the crisis again, but it will not be so keen as it were before. There will be less discernment of God and more humiliation at not having obeyed; and if you go on grieving the Holy Spirit, there will come a time where that crisis cannot be repeated, you have grieved Him away,"
