So often Christians, especially preachers, think that their only service is always to have to 'offer' something when they are together with other people.

Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking even when they should be listening.”

The heart which clings to goods receives with them the choking burden of worry. Worry collects treasures, and treasures produce more worries. We desire to secure our lives with earthly goods; we want our worrying to make us worry-free, but the truth is the opposite. The chains which bind us to earthly goods, the clutches which hold the goods tight, are themselves worries.”
