The Bible tells us that the Wise Men didn’t give Jesus their leftovers when they visited him on the first Christmas but instead gave three very significant and valuable gifts: “They bowed down and worshiped him. They opened their gifts and gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11).

As you give Jesus your trust, make him first in your life, give what you value to his work, and bring other people to him, you’re giving him gifts far more valuable than the ones the Wise Men brought.

We do not have to talk very much in order to pray well. We know that God is there in His holy tabernacle; let us open our hearts to Him; let us rejoice in His Presence: This is the best prayer.

Changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross.

If the heart is devoted to the mirage of the world, to the creature instead of the Creator, the disciple is lost…However urgently Jesus may call us, His call fails to find access to our hearts. Our hearts are closed, for they have already been given to another.

It is Jesus who moves us to pray. He knocks. Thereby He makes known His desire to come to us. Our prayers are always the result of Jesus’ knocking at our hearts’ doors.

He sees the inside of all; and what men are there, that they are to him. He sees not as we see, but ponders the hidden man of the heart. No humble, broken, contrite soul, shall lose one sigh or groan after him, and communion with him; no pant of love or desire is hid from him…

The heart is rich when it is content, and it is always content when its desires are fixed on God.

Some people say “Are you out of your mind?” as if that’s a bad thing. I beg to differ. I would love to stop living the majority of my life in my mind and would rather live my life in my heart.

It would be much more valuable for people to change their actions less, and to change more rather the disposition which makes them act.

There are so many things to occupy our minds: so many books, so many examples, so many good teachings that deserve our attention, that say, “Here is a truth.” But, as I have been serving the Lord these past years, He has led me to seek for two things and two things only: to know the heart of God in Christ and to know my own heart in Christ’s light.
