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.

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

Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. There are not two Christs--an easygoing one for easygoing Christians, and a suffering, toiling one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are you willing to abide in Him, and thus to bear much fruit?

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.
