“Do you wish to become rich? You may become rich, that is, if you desire it in no half way, but thoroughly. A miser sacrifices all to his single passion; hoards farthings and dies possessed of wealth. Do you wish to master any science or accomplishment? Give yourself to it and it lies beneath your feet. Time and pains will do anything. This world is given as the prize for the men in earnest; and that which is true of this world is truer still of the world to come.” IfsMenWorldWayGivingMayStillsPainLyingDesireDiesPassionGivenWishWealthHalfRichSacrificeFeetThis WorldHe ManMastersAccomplishmentPrizePossessedEarnestMisersEarnestnessHalf WayBecome Rich Book:Sermons Preached at Brighton Source: Sermons Preached at Brighton

Then what we are will be everything; what we appear will take its place far down the scale of interest for us. Apart from sin we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Only an evil desire to shine makes us want to appear other than we are.” PeopleThinkingWantLongMomentsCareDesireEvilJesusInterestSinFeetShiningScalesSurrenderCurseAshamedMeeknessArtificiality Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
