If in the sight of God you cannot say you are sure that you have a special call to stay at home, why are you disobeying the Saviour's plain command to go?
Hudson Taylor
Image
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.

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
If we wait till we run no risk, the gospel will never be introduced into the interior.
Hudson Taylor
Image
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.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God's omnipotency.
Hudson Taylor
Image
If this is a real work for God it is a real conflict with Satan.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
