The Letters 20 JANUARY 1930 Living in the atmosphere of Islam is proving—thus far— a tremendous spiritual stimulus. Mohammed is helping me. I have no more intention of giving up Christianity and becoming a Mohammedan than I had twenty year ago, but I find myself richer for the Is…

The Letters 21 AUGUST 1930 I shall be forty-six in two weeks. I no longer have the sense that life is all before me, as I had a few years ago. Some of it is behind—and a miserable poor past it is, so far below what I had dreamed that I dare not even think of it. Nor dare I think …

The Letters 21 SEPTEMBER 1930 Our search for God through narrow straits has brought a sudden revelation, like an explorer who has just come out upon a limitless sea. It is not any particularly new idea but a new feeling, which came almost of itself. Today God seems to me to be ju…

The Letters 22 APRIL 1930 The “experiment” is interesting, although I am not very successful, thus far. The idea of God slips out of my sight for I suppose two-thirds of every day, thus far. This morning I started out fresh, by finding a rich experience of God in the sunrise. The…

The Letters 22 JUNE 1930 I have just returned from a walk alone, a walk so wonderful that I feel like reducing it to a universal rule, that all people ought to take a walk every evening all alone where they can talk aloud without being heard by anyone, and that during this entire…

The Letters 22 SEPTEMBER 1930 We have got to saturate ourselves with the rainbows and the sunset marvels in order to radiate them. It is as much our duty to live in the beauty of the presence of God on some mount of transfiguration until we become white with Christ as it is for u…

The Letters 23 MARCH 1930 You and you and you and I do experience fine fresh contact with God sometimes, and do carry out His will sometimes. One question now to be put to the test is this: Can we have that contact with God all the time? All the time awake, fall asleep in His arm…

The Letters 24 MAY 1930 This has been a week of wonders. God is at work everywhere preparing the way for His work in Lanao. I shall tell you some of the wonders presently. But just at this moment you must hear more of this sacred evening. The day had been rich but strenuous, so I…

The Letters 25 February 1931 As I lay on the warm earth on Signal Hill last night, I asked God the question, “Why is it that Thou dost allow us on this earth to do nearly all the talking? Why do we not always hear Thy voice, since Thou art so much wiser than we are?”...

The Letters 28 SEPTEMBER 1931 The fashion today is to place God in court and give Him a trial. We have had such a lust for “debunking” every good and useful man in history that even God cannot escape. It is one of the unfortunate by-products of the quest for truth, plus an unlove…

The Letters 28 SEPTEMBER 1931 When one has struck some wonderful blessing that all mankind has a right to know about, no custom or false modesty should prevent him from telling it, even though it may mean the unbarring of his soul to the public gaze...

The Letters 29 JANUARY 1930 I feel simply carried along each hour, doing my part in a plan which is far beyond myself. This sense of cooperation with God in little things is what so astonishes me, for I never have felt it this way before. I need something, and turn round to find …

The Letters 3 JANUARY 1930 To be able to look backward and say. “This, this has been the finest year of my life”—that is glorious! But anticipation! To be able to look ahead and say, “The present year can and shall be better!”—that is more glorious!...

The Letters 3 JUNE 1930 This experiment which I am trying is the most strenuous discipline which any man ever attempted. I am not succeeding in keeping God in my mind very many hours of the day, and from the point of view of experiment number one, I should have to record a pretty…

The Letters 5 APRIL 1931 We see ourselves on trial with Jesus. He could walk into the jaws of death to do His blessed work for others. He could dare to speak out against wrong and take the consequences. He could receive floggings, could allow men to spit in His face, could endure…
