Image
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.
Hudson Taylor
Image
If this is a real work for God it is a real conflict with Satan.
Hudson Taylor
Image
The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do.
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
While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.
Hudson Taylor
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.
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.
Hudson Taylor
Image
Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.
Hudson Taylor
Image
We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth. We tell people the world is vain let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above and that all these things are transitory. Does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!
