spiritual eye giving
It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.
eye men sight
It is better to enter into life maimed but lovely in God’s sight than to appear lovely to man’s eyes but lame to God’s.
children father eye
So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God. In the eyes of those who do not know God, it is madness to trust Him, but when we pray in the Holy Spirit we begin to realize the resources of God, that He is our perfect heavenly Father, and we are His children.
believe eye order
I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.

Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
absurd certain dealt destroy face ignoring increase mind pray second seen
Certain things can only be dealt with by ignoring them; if you face them you increase their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them; when once a thing is seen to be wrong, don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it; never for a second brood on it, destroy it by neglect.
hurt may
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
not-good-enough enemy faith-in-god
The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.
stars lasts sand
When obedience is in the ascendant, He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist you with all His Almighty power.
stars people heaven
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould
