You must have faith in God.
We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.
One of the first signs of a Spirit-filled life is enthusiasm!
Forget yourself and live for others, for It is more blessed to give than to receive.
We must never forget that Christ did not suffer just during His three years of public ministry or the last few days of His life when He was crucified. No, He suffered throughout His life on earth. He who was without sin lived daily with the corruption and sinfulness of lost humanity.
God is preparing his heroes; and when the opportunity comes, he can fit them into their places in a moment, and the world will wonder where they came from.
