Through Gates of Splendor

Jeweliet Coffee

Jim practiced what he preached when he wrote in his diary: “Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God." 

“In appreciation of beauty, mountains, music, poetry, knowledge, people, science-even in the tang of an apple-God is there, to reffect the joy of His presence in the believer who will realize God's purposes in all things." 

“I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.”

When life’s flight is over, and we unload our cargo at the other end, the fellow who got rid of unnecessary weight wil have the most valuable cargo to present the Lord." 

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." 

“I want to be free of self-pity. It is a tool of Satan to rot away a life.”

“God is God. I dethrone Him in my heart if I demand that He act in ways that satisfy my idea of justice.”

“It is not the level of our spirituality that we can depend on. It is God and nothing less than God, for the work is God's and the call is God's and everything is summoned by Him and to His purposes, the whole scene, the whole mess, the whole package-our bravery and our cowardice, our love and our selfishness, our strengths and our weaknesses.”
