I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient.
It does not matter how great the pressure is. What really matters is where the pressure lies whether it comes between you and God, or whether it presses you nearer His heart.
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
God isn’t looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.
The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.
It is not so much the greatness of our troubles, as the littleness of our spirit, which makes us complain.
God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.
If I had a thousand pounds China should have it- if I had a thousand lives, China should have them. No! Not China, but Christ. Can we do too much for Him? Can we do enough for such a precious Saviour?
It is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.
Not by discussions nor by argument, but by lifting up Christ shall we draw men unto Him.
God wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into His hand, and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about, or to make trouble about.
Jesus is our strength, and what we cannot do or bear, He can both do and bear in us.
