"I am your Portion and Inheritance!"-Num 18:20
"The loss of all things meant to Paul the gain of all things (Phil 3:8). The loss of the nest to the young eaglet who is learning to fly means the gain of the whole heavens for its home. The loss of our own strength means the gaining of God's Strength in its place; The loss of our own wisdom means the gaining of God's Wisdom; The loss of our own life means the gaining of God's Life. Who would not make the Exchange? Having nothing, the Levite Priests possessed all things, for God Himself was their Possession! 'Christ is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption' (1Cor 1:30). Therefore, we must draw our Supply of these Eternal Virtues moment by moment from the Lord as we have need of them. If Christ is IN us, then all things Eternal are ours also!"-Hannah Whitehall Smith
"Apart (severed) from Me, you can DO nothing!"-Jn 15:(5)
"I can DO all things through Christ!"-Phil 4:(13)
"I have become all things!"-1Cor 9:22
"He who believes in Me will DO the Works that I do; and GREATER Works than these will he DO!"-Jn 15:12
"Friendship was our Lord's Ideal of Discipleship!"-J.R.Miller
"I would converse with you from day to day,
With heart intent on what you say,
And through my Pilgrim Walk, what're befall,
Consult with you, O Lord! about it all,
Since you are Willing thus to Condescend,
To be my Intimate, familiar Friend,
Oh!, let me to the great occasion rise,
And count your Friendship life's most glorious Prize!"-Selected
