Missionary life is simply a chance to die.

If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, where ever you are. Perhaps he may be in great peril at that moment.

Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.

God bless you and utterly satisfy your heart...with Himself.

Image
If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.

If Thy dear home be fuller, Lord, For that a little emptier. My house on earth, what rich rewards. That guerdon were.

God, harden me against myself!

There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful. Praise God, it does not say sucessful.

A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.

Image
Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.

Now you are deep in what seems to me a peculiarly selfless service. The spiritual training of children must be that. You work for the years you will not see. You work for the Invisible all the time, but you work for the Eternal. So it is all worthwhile.

Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.
