My Year in J. R. Miller Quotes: September Edition

From “Mary of Bethany”:
    • “At Christ’s feet is the place of discipleship, where one learns the lessons the Master has to teach, where one’s soul receives the blessings He has to give.”
    • “We can give out to others only what God has given to us.”
    • “The first thing is, not what you shall do for Christ, but what you shall let Christ do for you; not what you shall give to Him, but what you shall receive from Him.”
    • “True refinement is not outside polish. It goes deeper, and penetrates the very foundations of character.”
    • “That which truly refines is purity of heart.”
    • “Is there no alabaster box of sacred ointment which you can bring out and break, to anoint the feet of your loving Lord?”
    • “There is constant danger that the duties which lie closest shall be overlooked while the eye is watching farther off for services conspicuous and large.”
    • “The Christian young woman who blesses her own home with her love cannot but be a blessing wherever she goes.”
    • “It matters little what the particular form of ministry may be. God knows what he wants his children to do. The important thing is to be filled with the love of Christ; then, wherever you go, you will be a blessing.”
