*salvation doesn't equal satisfaction. you can be genuinely saved and still be unsatisfied. satisfaction comes only when every empty place is filled with the fullness of Christy. while salvation comes to us as a gift from God, we find satisfaction in Him as we deliberately surrender all parts of our lives to Him.

*the fact that i am trying to be right with God is a sign that i am rebelling against the Atonement.

*i cannot make myself right with God, i cannot make my life perfect; i can only be right with God if i accept the Atonement of the Lord Jesus as an absolute gift. am i humble enough to accept it?

*wherever God puts you in circumstances, pray immediately, pray that His Atonement may be realized in others lives as it has been in yours.

*i have to resign every kind of claim and cease from every effort, and leave myself entirely alone in His hands, and then begin to pour out in the priestly work of intercession.

*the continual grubbing on the inside to see whether we are what we ought to be generates a self-centered, morbid type of Christianity, not the robust, simple life of the child of God

*launch out in reckless belief that the Redemption is complete, and then bother no more about yourself, but do as Jesus Christ said - pray for the freind who comes to you at midnight, pray for saints, pray for all men. pray on the realization that you are only perfect in Christ Jesus, not on this plea - 'o Lord, i have done my best, please hear me'
