The future is as bright as the promise of God.
William Carey
Image
I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.

I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
William Carey
Image
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
William Carey
Image
I am very defective in all duties... In prayer I wander and am formal... I soon tire devotion languishes and I do not walk with God.
William Carey
Image
We must not be contented however with praying, without exerting ourselves in the use of means for the obtaining of those things we pray for.
William Carey
Image
Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
William Carey
Image
We have only to keep the end in view, and have our hearts thoroughly engaged in the pursuit of it, and means will not be very difficult.
William Carey
