Watchman Nee
Image
Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
Watchman Nee

Watchman Nee
Image
Outside Christ, I am empty in Christ, I am full.
Watchman Nee
Image
As God's child advances spiritually be shall discover that the Lord's time is as important as the Lord's will. Do not rashly beget an Ishmael lest he become the greatest enemy to Isaac.
Watchman Nee
