We must give up all that we are in order to possess all that He is.

As our hearts become pure, our vision becomes clearer.

Suffering is seeing what Jesus sees, and joy is doing what Jesus does.

You are God's dream with skin on

A new breed of ministers is rising up who will not wear out for the gospel. They are so caught up in passion, unity, and fullness that they run out and say, “World, here I come!” If they go into places where they get shot at, they are thrilled. If they do not get shot at, they are thrilled. If the place they go is filthy, they are thrilled. If it is clean, they are thrilled. Jesus is the joy set before them. He is their exceedingly great reward.

If you are called as a missionary—a “sent-out one”—then you are called to comfort those who mourn. You are called to love the broken until they understand God’s love—a love that never dies—through you.

Just love the one in front of you. Take in the orphan, take in the widow. Just love the one in front of you.
