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.

Would that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest Heaven so real that we must have men there.
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.

In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.
Hudson Taylor

Would that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest heaven so real that we must have men there, Christ so real that our supreme motive and aim shall be to make the Man of Sorrows the Man of Joy by the conversion to him of many.
