I am so weak that I can hardly write, I cannot read my Bible, I cannot even pray, I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child, and trust.

Image
As our Father makes many a flower to bloom unseen in the lonely desert, [let us] do all that we can do, as under God's eye, though no other eye ever take note of it.

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.

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No it rests in union and communion with the vine...Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.

Oh, for eloquence to plead the cause of China, for a pencil dipped in fire to paint the condition of this people.
Hudson Taylor
Image
It is not so much the greatness of our troubles, as the littleness of our spirit, which makes us complain.
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
Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Satan may build a hedge about us and fence us in and hinder our movements, but he cannot roof us in and prevent our looking up.
Hudson Taylor
Image
When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns. When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.

All God's giants have been weak men and women who have gotten hold of God's faithfulness.
