Love is the only fire that is hot enough to melt the iron obstinacy of a creatures’s will.

Alexander MacLaren (Pastor, 1826 – 1910)

In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us. A man who has not learned to say, No -who is not resolved that he will take God’s way, in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery choice that woos him aside-will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies.

Alexander MacLaren (Pastor, 1826 – 1910)
