Are you in a hurry, flurried, distressed? Look up! See the Man in the Glory! Let the face of Jesus shine upon you—the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. Is He worried, troubled, distressed? There is no wrinkle on His brow, no least shade of anxiety. Yet the affairs are His as much as yours.

Consider six or eight hours a day sacred to the Lord and His work, and let nothing hinder your giving this time (to language study and practice) till you can preach fluently and intelligibly.
Hudson Taylor
Image
If we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life.

There has never been a successful social movement for any minority without the support of the majority.
Hudson Taylor
Image
God's work is not man working for God it is God's own work, though often wrought through man's hands.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Christ liveth in me. And how great the difference...instead of bondage, liberty instead of failure, quiet victories within instead of fear and weakness, a restful sense of sufficiency in Another.

God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him
