Over and over again God has to remove our friends in order to bring Himself in their place,
and that is where we faint and fail and get discouraged.

It must be God first, God second, and God third, until the life is faced steadily with God and no one else is of any account whatever.

At no time is our vision more capable of seeing God in His rightful place than when the focus of our former attentions has been removed from our sight
