"This matter of the...Trinity of the Godhead is one which we cannot use our mind to comprehend.  We cannot...simply use our mind to understand the mystery of the Father, Son, and Spirit...But if you check with your own experience, you will declare that the Lord who dwells in you is surely one...If you follow your mental understanding you will be puzzled, but by your experience you are clear that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are the three persons of the one God."

"Give yourself to love the Lord. No other way is so prevailing, and no other way is so safe, so rich, and so full of enjoyment. Just love Him. Do not care for anything else. Teachings, doctrines, gifts, and power do not mean much. We must continually tell the Lord, “Lord, keep me in Your love! Attract me with Yourself! Keep me all the time in Your loving presence!” If we will pray in this way, we will see what love we will have toward the Lord and what kind of life we will live. We will simply live by the Lord Himself. As long as we love Him from the deepest part of our being, everything will be all right. If we need wisdom, He will be the wisdom to us. If we need power, He will be the power. If we need the proper and adequate knowledge, He will even be that to us. Whatever we need, He is. Do not try to get anything else; just look to Him that He would reveal His love to you."

"Don't look for greater things.  Don't look for things other than they are.  Don't set your expectation on some great vision or on some great experience.  And don't expect anything outward, for the God who hides Himself is at work within your life, and He is working mightily.  Your responsibility is to cooperate with Him by responding to His voice within - that 'still small voice,' that voice that seems so much a part of your own feelings that you scarcely recognize it as a voice at all.  To that voice, registered in the deepest depths of your being, you must say, 'Amen,' for there, secretly and ceaselessly, the God who hides Himself is working."

"Sometimes when you are out on the street or in your room, thoughts such as these come to you - 'What is the purpose of my life?  What is the Lord getting out of it?' - and it does not dawn upon you that that is the Lord at work within you.  Let me tell you: Those faint registrations in the depths of your being, those slight suggestions you thought were wholly your own because they were so natural - those were the Lord's doing.  The God who hides Himself is at work within your life, but He has hidden Himself so effectively that you have been quite unconscious of His activity.  And He is working outwardly as well as inwardly - in your home, in your business, in all your circumstances.  He is creating many situations and is active in many directions, though He lets you sense nothing of it, until you imagine these things have been just come about naturally; but both the inner and outer conditions of your life are under His control."
